1. Jesus' resurrection is declared by two angels to the women who come to the tomb.
9. They report it to others.

And they got up that very hour
This phrase indicates the urgency and immediacy of the disciples' response after encountering the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus. The phrase "that very hour" suggests a sense of urgency and excitement, reflecting the transformative impact of their encounter with Jesus. This immediate action underscores the importance of the resurrection message and the disciples' eagerness to share it.

and returned to Jerusalem.
Jerusalem holds significant importance as the center of Jewish worship and the location of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. The return to Jerusalem symbolizes a return to the heart of the early Christian community and the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecies concerning His death and resurrection. This journey back to Jerusalem, approximately seven miles from Emmaus, also highlights the disciples' commitment and determination to be with the other followers of Christ.

There they found the Eleven
The "Eleven" refers to the remaining apostles, excluding Judas Iscariot, who had betrayed Jesus and subsequently died. This gathering of the Eleven is significant as it represents the core group of Jesus' closest followers, who would become the foundational leaders of the early Church. The presence of the Eleven underscores the continuity and unity of the apostolic witness to the resurrection.

and those with them,
This phrase indicates that the Eleven were not alone; they were accompanied by other disciples and followers of Jesus. This larger group likely included both men and women who had been part of Jesus' ministry. The mention of "those with them" highlights the communal nature of the early Christian movement and the shared experience of witnessing the risen Christ.

gathered together
The act of gathering together emphasizes the communal and supportive environment of the early believers. This assembly reflects the early Church's practice of meeting for fellowship, prayer, and mutual encouragement. The gathering also serves as a fulfillment of Jesus' promise that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is present among them (Matthew 18:20). This communal gathering becomes a setting for the sharing of the resurrection news and the strengthening of faith among the believers.

Persons / Places / Events

3. The Eleven

4. The Gathering
This event marks a pivotal moment where the disciples begin to understand and witness the reality of Jesus' resurrection, leading to the strengthening of their faith and mission.
Teaching Points
The Urgency of the Gospel
The disciples' immediate return to Jerusalem highlights the urgency and importance of sharing the good news of Jesus' resurrection. We, too, should feel compelled to share the gospel with others.

The Importance of Community
The gathering of the Eleven and others in Jerusalem underscores the need for Christian fellowship and support, especially in times of uncertainty and fear.

Faith in Action
The disciples' response to their encounter with Jesus demonstrates that true faith leads to action. Our encounters with Christ should inspire us to live out our faith boldly.

The Power of Witness
The disciples' testimony about Jesus' resurrection serves as a powerful witness to others. Our personal testimonies can be a significant tool in evangelism.

Resurrection as a Foundation
The resurrection of Jesus is central to Christian belief. Understanding and believing in the resurrection is crucial for a robust faith.(33) They rose up the same hour.--As it was towards evening when they had arrived at Emmaus, and its distance from Jerusalem was about eight miles, they must have reached the chamber where the Eleven were assembled after nightfall. If we identify this gathering with that of John 20:19, there were but ten Apostles present, Thomas being absent.

Verses 33, 34. - And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem. "They fear no longer the night-journey from which they had dissuaded their unknown Companion" (Bengel). And found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. Late that evening Cleopas and his friend arrived from Emmaus at Jerusalem. Hastening to the accustomed meeting-place of the disciples of Jesus, to tell their wondrous story of the meeting with the risen Master, they find the eleven together full of joy. Peter had seen and had no doubt conversed with his Master. What a meeting must that have been! The once eager and devoted apostle had probably not gazed on that form in life since he caught the sorrowful look bent on him in the courtyard, when Jesus, bound, passed through and heard his servant denying him with oaths and curses. This appearance to Peter is not recorded in the Gospels. It is, however, placed first of all by St. Paul in his records of the manifestation of the Risen (1 Corinthians 15:4-8).
