The disciples were silent from amazement and delight. They did not venture to ask the stranger who he was. They listened to him intently, charmed by his intelligence, and drawn toward him by his gracious words and manner, as he opened the Scriptures to their understanding, showing them from prophecy how Christ must suffer, and after suffering enter into his glory. {3SP 208.2}

Disciplene forblev aldeles tavse i deres store forbavselse og glæde. De vovede ikke at spørge den fremmede om, hvem han var. De lyttede til ham, fuldstændig indtaget af hans store forstand og hen draget til ham ved hans venlige ord og adfærd. Han udlagde skriften for dem, så at de kunne forstå den, og viste dem ifølge profetierne, hvorledes Kristus måtte lide og efter at have lidt indtræde i sin herlighed.
