But in this passage it is uncertain if it is on account of miracles that Christ is said to be powerful in actions, (as if it had been said that he was endued with divine virtues which proved that he was sent from heaven ) or if the phrase is more extensive, and means that he excelled both in ability to teach, and in holiness of life and other remarkable endowments. Luke has employed nearly the same form of expression in reference to the person of Stephen, ( Acts 7:22,) where he says of Moses, by way of commendation, that he was powerful in words and in actions. In the meantime Peter also had met the risen Jesus ( Mark 16:13 Luke 24:32-35 cf.

When they started to explain their sadness, they expressed surprise that their unknown companion had not heard about the crucifixion of Jesus. ![]() That afternoon Jesus joined two sorrowful disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, but they did not recognize him ( Mark 16:12 Luke 24:13-16).
