       Jesus also appeared to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, as Luke also tells us. So, Mark and Luke are the only Gospel writers to record this event. And it was a pretty detailed conversation and interaction that had taken place. Remember, Jesus walked with them and listened to what they had to say about his crucifixion, for it had been an epic event in Jerusalem, and Israel really. And they told Jesus the following, as recorded by Luke: “We had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see” (Luke 24:21-24, ESV). And after this, Jesus explained to them everything about himself from the Old Testament. For the Old Testament is full of prophecy regarding Jesus’ first coming, and his dying for the people’s sins.
