Lukas 24:34-36

24:34 and ¹  saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has appeared to Simon!” ²  24:35 Then they told what had happened on the road, ³  and how they recognized him ⁴  when he broke the bread.

Jesus Makes a Final Appearance

24:36 While they were saying these things, Jesus ⁵  himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” ⁶ 

[24:34]  ¹ tn Here the word “and” has been supplied to make it clear that the disciples who had been to Emmaus found the eleven plus the others gathered and saying this.

[24:34]  ² sn The Lord…has appeared to Simon. Jesus had made another appearance besides the one on the road. The excitement was rising. Simon refers to Simon Peter.

[24:35]  ³ sn Now with the recounting of what had happened on the road two sets of witnesses corroborate the women’s report.

[24:35]  ⁴ tn Grk “how he was made known to them”; or “how he was recognized by them.” Here the passive construction has been converted to an active one in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style.

[24:36]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:36]  ⁶ tc The words “and said to them, ‘Peace be with you’” are lacking in some Western mss (D it). But the clause is otherwise well attested, being found in Ì⁷⁵ and the rest of the ms tradition, and should be considered an original part of Luke.
