I hesitate to appear judgmental by terming it "carnal", inasmuch as the Holy Spirit's constant presence was still nearly two months in their future. What a miserable lot they were--they had already fled--and it was about to get immeasurably worse. And Jesus let them experience it fully.
To drive home that point: Jesus let them wonder and stew for hours and hours, all day, on Sunday after the Magdalene's report, while he hung out with the two yahoos from Emmaus.
They were tough men, to bear all that.
