The Resurrected Jesus Appears to Many - Continued

 The two disciples excitedly comment on what they experienced: "Were not our hearts burning within us as he was speaking to us on the road, as he was fully opening up the Scriptures to us?" (Luke 24:32) They hurry back to Jerusalem, where they find the apostles and others with them. Before Cleopas and his companion can give a report, they hear others say: "For a fact the Lord was raised up, and he appeared to Simon!" (Luke 24:34)  Then the two tell how Jesus appeared to them. Yes, they too were eyewitnesses. 

Now all are shocked-Jesus appears in the room! This seems unbelievable because they locked the doors our of fear of the Jews. Still, Jesus    is standing right in their midst. He calmly says:  "May you have peace."  But they are frightened.  As they did once before, they "are imagining that they are seeing  a spirit.' - LUKE 24:36, 37; MATTHEW 14:25-27.
