Commentary

Notes on Luke 24:14 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

communed and reasoned--exchanged views and feelings, weighing afresh all the facts, as detailed in Luk 24:18-24.

drew near--coming up behind them as from Jerusalem.

eyes holden--Partly He was "in another form" (Mar 16:12), and partly there seems to have been an operation on their own vision; though certainly, as they did not believe that He was alive, His company as a fellow traveller was the last thing they would expect,

John Gill's Exposition

But their eyes were holden, &c. The Ethiopic version adds, "and were covered"; and the Arabic version renders it, "now he had veiled their eyes", ascribing it to Christ; and the Persic version renders it, "and the eyes of the disciples were shut": to me it seems, that their eyes: were held downwards; or they kept looking upon the ground as they walked, which was a posture suitable to their melancholy spirits; and there might be a peculiar influence of divine power and providence, so disposing them, that they did not look up to Christ their new fellow traveller, who walked on with them: and this was so ordered,

that they should not know him; that so they might not be surprised at once, as they would have been, had they looked at him, and discerned who he was; and that they might converse the more freely with him; and that he might convince them of their stupidity and unbelief, by proper arguments.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

Ver. 14. And they talked together] So did Elias and Elisha, when the heavenly chariot came to sunder them. Christ is still with two or three met for such a holy purpose.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

There is nothing more ordinary, than for persons walking and riding upon roads to make the present news of the time. The subject of their discourse. There had great things happened in Jerusalem, the death of our Saviour was such; and those things which attended his death were very extraordinary; and it is not at all to be wondered that a discourse of them should fill every mouth, especially every disciple’s mouth.

International Critical Commentary

14. καὶ αὐτοὶ ὡμίλουν. If αὐτοί has any special force, it is “and they communed”—as well as those mentioned in ver. 10. Among the disciples this was the topic of conversation. The verb is peculiar to Lk. in N.T. (ver. 15; Act 20:11, Act 24:26). The meaning of “converse, talk with” is classical, and survives in mod. Gk.

Vulg. leads the way in translating ὁμιλεῖν differently in ver. 14 (loque bantur, “talked” AV.) and ver. 15 (fabularentur, “communed” AV.). See footnote on 2:9.
