- "The Lord, about to send them forth to preach, "opens their mind that they might understand the Scriptures," and then repeats the Commission, before given in Galilee.

- "Recognizing," sermon discussion from Frederick Buechner, Frederick Buechner Blog.
- "I believe that although the two disciples did not recognize Jesus on the road to Emmaus, Jesus recognized them, that he saw them as if they were the only two people in the world. And I believe that the reason why the resurrection is more than just an extraordinary event that took place some two thousand years ago and then was over and done with is that, even as I speak these words and you listen to them, he also sees each of us like that."

- "First
Thoughts on Year B Gospel Passages in the Lectionary," Easter
3, William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
- "For Luke, to fulfil the hope of the resurrection is to tell the story of Jesus (testimony). That means telling what he did, how he was rejected and then vindicated; and it is at the same time to live it by the power of the same Spirit, by doing good and bringing liberation for all. This includes forgiveness of sins. It is radically simple."
- Exegetical
Notes by Brian Stoffregen.
- "Every time "hamartia" (= "sin") is used in Luke, it is with "apheimi" (= "forgiveness")."
- Commentary,
Luke 24:13-35, (Easter3A), Sarah Henrich, Preaching This
Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2011.
- "There is a kind of resignation in all this, both Luke's story and often our own lives. Get real. Grow up. Back to work. I can only imagine how the families and friends of Cleopas would offer advice and opinion when the two got home to long untended work and family obligations."

- "Our Road to Emmaus," David Lose, WorkingPreacher, 2011.
- "It's not a bad pattern to emulate, is it? Meet people where they are. Open up the Scriptures so that they can make sense of their lives in light of God's mercy. Gather them to the meal that they might behold and be nourished by Christ's own presence. And send them on their way, back into the world to partner in God's work and to share God's grace."

- "When they recognize Jesus, their first act is one of witness."
- Exegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
- "There is a time to speak and a time to listen. Sometimes resurrection enthusiasm needs some damping. Similarly, as soon as they recognize that it is Jesus who is with them, he disappears. Just when we think we've got Jesus all figured out -- he pulls a new trick."

- "...Cleopas and his companion are nobodies who have no idea what God might be doing. They could be any one of us. Their road to Emmaus is an ordinary road, the road each of us is on every day. This is what sets this story apart from other accounts of Jesus? Easter appearances."

"Touch
and See," F. Dean Lueking The Christian Century, 1997.
At Religion Online.
- "Touching can be as routine as a handshake or a high five. It can be as exploitative as lustful pawing, as threatening as a clenched fist. Or, as the Easter account in Luke 24 proclaims, touching can be the means whereby the risen Lord Jesus chooses to make himself known."
-
"Holy
Heartburn," Susan R. Andrews. Commentary from The Christian
Century, April, 1999. At Religion Online.
