Luke 24:23-35

JMNT(i) 23 "and then not finding His body, they came, also repeatedly saying to have looked on and seen a sight: an appearance of agents (or: messengers) who kept on laying out and explaining [the situation for] Him to be or to continue living! 24 "And so, some of those with us set off [to come] upon the memorial tomb, and then found [it] thus, just as the women also said [it to be], but yet, they did not see Him.” 25 Then He said to them, "O senseless (or: unintelligent; mindless) and slow at heart to be trusting and believing on all things which the prophets spoke! 26 "Did it not continue necessary for the Christ (the Anointed One) to experience and suffer these things – and then to enter into His glory (or: His assumed appearance)?" 27 And so, beginning from Moses, and then from all the prophets, He continued to fully interpret and explain to (or: for) them the things pertaining to (or: the references about) Himself within all the Scriptures. 28 Later they came near to the village where they were going, and He does as though (or: acted as if) to continue journeying farther, 29 and so with constraining force they pressured Him, the one after the other saying, "Stay (Remain; Abide) with us, because it is toward evening, and the day has already declined." With that, He went in to stay with them. 30 And then it happened – during the [situation for] Him to be reclining [at the meal] with them! After taking (or: receiving) the loaf of bread, He spoke words of well-being and blessing. Then, after breaking [it], He began giving [it] to them. 31 At that their eyes were at once fully opened wide, and they experienced full recognition of Him. Then He, himself, at once became invisible (or: vanished; disappeared), away from them. 32 Later they said to each other, "Were not our hearts constantly burning as He continued speaking to us on the road (or: in the path; with the way) – as He continued fully opening up the Scriptures to (and: for; or: in) us?" 33 And rising up in that same hour, they returned into Jerusalem and found the eleven, as well as those having been collected together with them as a body, 34 [who were] then saying [to these two] that the Lord was existentially (as a being; and: actually; in fact) aroused and raised up, and then was seen by Simon." 35 So then they, themselves, began leading forth with a detailed explanation about the events on the road, and how He came to be known to them (or: personally recognized by them) in the breaking of the loaf of bread. [comment: A.T. Robertson points out that the recognition did not come in His exegesis of Scripture, but at the meal and His serving them]
