And they went back and reported it to the rest
This phrase refers to the two disciples who encountered Jesus on the road to Emmaus, as detailed in Luke 24:13-35. After recognizing Jesus in the breaking of bread, they returned to Jerusalem to share the news with the other disciples. This act of reporting is significant as it demonstrates the early spread of the resurrection message, a foundational event for the Christian faith. The disciples' journey back to Jerusalem highlights the importance of the city as the center of early Christian activity and the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy that His message would begin there (Luke 24:47).

but they did not believe them either
The skepticism of the disciples upon hearing the report reflects a recurring theme of doubt and disbelief among Jesus' followers after His resurrection. This disbelief is consistent with other Gospel accounts, such as Thomas's doubt in John 20:24-29. The initial unbelief underscores the extraordinary nature of the resurrection and the human tendency to doubt miraculous events. It also sets the stage for Jesus' later appearances to the disciples, where He provides tangible proof of His resurrection, thus strengthening their faith and preparing them for their mission to spread the Gospel. This disbelief can be seen as a fulfillment of Jesus' earlier predictions of His death and resurrection, which the disciples struggled to comprehend until they witnessed the risen Christ themselves.

Persons / Places / Events
1. The Disciples
The group of Jesus' followers who were struggling with disbelief after His resurrection.

2. The Two Disciples
Likely referring to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, as described in Luke 24:13-35, who encountered the risen Christ.

3. The Rest
The remaining disciples and followers of Jesus who were gathered together, still in mourning and confusion over Jesus' death.

4. The Event of Reporting
The act of the two disciples sharing their encounter with the risen Jesus with the rest of the disciples.

5. The Disbelief
The reaction of the rest of the disciples, who did not believe the testimony of the two disciples.
Teaching Points
The Struggle with Doubt
Even the closest followers of Jesus experienced doubt. This reminds us that doubt can be a part of the faith journey, but it should lead us to seek truth and understanding.

The Importance of Testimony
The two disciples shared their experience despite disbelief. Our testimonies can encourage others, even if they initially doubt.

Faith Beyond Sight
The disciples' disbelief highlights the challenge of believing without seeing. We are called to trust in the truth of the resurrection and the promises of God, even when we cannot see them physically.

Community in Faith
The gathering of the disciples shows the importance of community in processing faith and doubt. We should seek fellowship with other believers to strengthen our faith.

Responding to Skepticism
The disciples' skepticism can teach us to approach others' doubts with patience and understanding, offering evidence and testimony of Christ's work in our lives.Verse 13. - And they went away and told it unto the rest: neither believed they them. This want of faith happened by the permission and providence of God. "This their unbelief," says St. Gregory, "was not so much their infirmity as our future constancy on the faith."
