And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Their hearts might have burned within them, but they didn’t recognize Jesus until he broke the bread… because that was the first time they looked at his hands. 🙂

Hmmm. As they say on Wikipedia, [citation needed]. Not that I don’t always appreciate an excuse to go browsing the Gospels, that isn’t in my KJV. Must’ve been that “between the lines” verse between Luke 24:30 and 24:31? 🙂
Which reminds me: In the “6 Strange Moments that Prove the Resurrection” video, there were a couple of things came to my mind.
One is, the acknowledgement that the latter part of Mark’s Gospel was interpolated later. I rarely see that. He suggests that where the original text ends was where Mark meant for it to end, which seems to me to be speculation. Seems like a much more likely explanation that Mark’s Gospel’s original ending was lost, especially when contrasted with the other two Synoptics, presumable both based on Mark or the possible lost “Q” gospel.
The other thing is, in the video, he says that Mark ends with the women “don’t tell anyone,” which does not comport with Matthew 28:8, which certainly says they ran to tell the disciples. and Luke 24:9-10 as well. And 11, where, in true manly fashion, most of the apostles think the women are batty. Fortunate for us all, John and Peter at least went to check out their story. 😀

Fine, Mr. Nit-picky. I should have said “that was the first time they SAW his hands.” Generally speaking, when you’re taking a walk with someone, you don’t look at his hands. But when you sit down at the table and he breaks bread, you can hardly fail to notice them.

Heh, perhaps I should have more respectfully said that I had never thought of or read of that possibility. I had always just taken “their eyes were opened” as more of a spiritual revelation.
But you really did have me fly to my KJV* to see if I’d somehow missed something in that oh-so-familiar chapter all these decades. The biomemory chips become less trustworthy as they age.
(*And by “fly to my KJV,” I mean go to BibleGateway.com — it’s so easy and fast that I’m afraid my hardcopy gathers a bit of dust sometimes.)

dust … I have a Bible on my Kindle, but I make a point of dusting off my print copy occasionally … possibly out of respect, but more likely so my devout house cleaner won’t think I never read the Word!! Not the most noble reason I know …

Heh. For research, online is great. For reading, I do still prefer hardcopy. Although, the print in my old dog-eared KJV has become smaller over the years…!

Yeah, that’s my problem as well. The Kindle has adjustable fonts, which is nice. But it’s a pain to navigate.
