Context of Luke 24:15
13On the same day, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village called Emmaus. It was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14They were talking to each other about everything that had happened. While they were talking, Jesus approached them and began walking with them. 16Although they saw him, they didn’t recognize him. 17He asked them, “What are you discussing?” They stopped and looked very sad.
