GOSPEL of LUKE
Chapter 24, Verses 13-35

Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.

He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

“What things?” he asked.

“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

I HOPE VIEWERS WILL FORGIVE
my self-indulgence here in posting 129 images of this hilarious little story. It is my favorite in the entire Bible: the spectacle of the newly-risen Christ deliberately delaying His appearance before His mourning crowd of closest disciples—leaving them for endless long hours to wonder and ponder—in order to devote several hours exclusively and incognito to these two foolish dullards. He has time and attention even for me!

Through the strong contrast of light and dark, Caravaggio (#1 and 2) achieves a powerful sense of tension. In #2, the view is open to us, inviting us to participate in the event, pulling us into the scene. It is the moment when Jesus reveals himself to the two disciples who are still coming to terms with Jesus’ crucifixion and their reaction is of amazement and shock. Cleophas, head forward and gripping the sides of his chair, is about to stand in disbelief. The other disciples, a shell pin on his vest, symbolic of the pilgrim, has his arms outstretched in a gesture of happiness and astonishment.
I once read that there is meaning in the still life on the table, a basket of fruit, precariously positioned at the edge of the table. The apple, which has begun rotting, is symbolic of the sin and fall of man. The grapes allude to the wine, symbolic of the Eucharistic wine, the blood of Christ. The shadow at the right of the basket, in the form of a fish, might refer to Jesus’ first disciples whom he called to be “fishers of men”. In this way, with still life, Caravaggio supports and strengthens the story he tells us.

[etabeta]

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for that, Alba. That was fun!

[etabeta]

There is another stylized fish in the middle of the basket, with the two breaks in the weave, one ascending, the other descending. One learns a lot by studying the details of a painting, it is almost like being in the mind and soul of the artist.

[freefdny]

Thanks for posting, great stuff. It is such an awesome Bible story. Their hearts were burning as they listened to him and they still couldn’t understand. Jesus obviously could have said who he was right away but he doesn’t. He is like a good teacher who wants the student to come up with the answer on their own.
I loved the Carpaccio and looked up a little of the history. The Venetian banker who commissioned it is thought to be sitting next to a Turk who has converted to Christianity. I also loved the history of the painting’s restoration. Thanks again.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s wonderful that you found that basket detail. Do you have a secret treasure-trove of masterpiece details which I might access? Where was it, may I ask?

[Bob434]

We had that painting on th3 wall growing up, and I always thought the fella on Jesus left was telling a fish story lol, like “it was this large, but the net broke and it got away”

Interesting today it about the fruit, thanks for sharing

[etabeta]

I spent 9 years blowing up paintings and studying the details, it was fun and learned much through them, read about the artists, the history, the symbolism, etc. A never ending love affair and, revisiting paintings, I learn even more. It takes love for art and curiosity, this is my addiction....

[etabeta]

My pleasure, Bob, glad you enjoyed it.

[Hebrews 11:6]

He is like a good teacher who wants the student to come up with the answer on their own.

Jesus and the Spirit are still doing that for every believer, coaxing and prodding and cajoling. Sanctification takes time, the entire rest of our lives.

Thanks for that interesting link. Two comments about the painting. First, the tapestry behind Jesus reads as though He is enthroned. Second, the painting depicts a miracle: no table with such inline legs could possibly stay upright without divine intervention.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for blessing us with the fruits of your labors, Alba.

[larrytown]

Lovely selections - I wonder at the similar characterizations of the two men of Emmaus in many of these paintings, one young, and the other elder bearded and balding.

From scripture there is nothing specific about ages, but I’ve always had the thought that they were two younger men, and that upon Jesus ‘no longer being with them’, they got up and not just returned, but beat feet back to Jerusalem! At least a good five mile race-walk :)

[Hebrews 11:6]

I believe it was a full seven miles--a brisk two-hour walk. Jesus probably had closer to three hours available on the outward leg if He wished it, since a deep conversation like that precluded walking briskly.

None of these artists ventured it, but I've seen speculation that the pair was actually a couple: Mr. & Mrs. Cleopas. As you observed, Scripture does not identify them--beyond describing their foolishness and slowness.

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

You were either up very late or bright and early, judging from the Jthread posting time. Cheers!

[left that other site]

Very Early.

Which is why God created each of us with the optional Nap accessory.
