Context of Luke 24:13

11But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. 12However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, wondering what had happened. That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. 14As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. 15As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them.

Commentaries on Luke 24:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Behold, two of them - This long and interesting account is not mentioned by Matthew nor John, and is only glanced at by Mark, Mark 16:12, Mark 16:13. One of these disciples was Cleopas, Luke 24:18, and the other is supposed by many learned men, both ancient and modern, to have been Luke himself. See the sketch of his life prefixed to these notes. Some of the ancient versions have called the other disciple Ammaus and Ammaon, reading the verse thus: Behold…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13“Two of them.” Two of the disciples. The name of one of them was “Cleopas,” Luke 24:18.

There is no evidence to guide us here. Dr. Lightfoot has shown that “Cleopas” is the same name as “Alpheus,” who was the father of the apostle James, Matthew 10:3. Emmaus - In regard to the locality of…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-27Verses 13-27 This appearance of Jesus to the two disciples going to Emmaus, happened the same day that he rose from the dead. It well becomes the disciples of Christ to talk together of his death and resurrection; thus they may improve one another's knowledge, refresh one another's memory, and stir up each other's devout affections. And where but two together are well employed in work of that kind, he will come to them, and make a third. Those who seek…Read the comment

Nothing else is known of Cleopas or the other disciple, who might have been his wife (24:18). They were probably returning from celebrating the Passover feast in Jerusalem.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-3513. two of them--One was Cleopas (Lu 24:18); who the other was is mere conjecture. Emmaus--about seven and a half miles from Jerusalem. They probably lived there and were going home after the Passover.Read the comment
