Luke 24:16 Context
14And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15And it came to passe, that while they communed together, and reasoned, Iesus himselfe drew neere, and went with them. 16But their eyes were holden, that they should not know him. 17And he said vnto them, What maner of communications are these that yee haue one to another as yee walke, and are sad? 18And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, saide vnto him, Art thou onely a stranger in Hierusalem, and hast not knowen the things which are come to passe there in these dayes?
