SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:13–35: Jesus came to two disciples on the road to Emmaus

The author told how two of Jesus’ disciples saw Jesus on the road to the village of Emmaus, but they did not know that he was Jesus. He talked with them and reminded them that God’s prophets had said that the Messiah would die and rise again. They invited him into their home. As he sat at the table with them, God caused them to realize that this man himself was Jesus, who had become alive again. Jesus disappeared, and the two disciples went quickly back to Jerusalem and told the other disciples that they had seen the Lord.

The account in this section does not occur elsewhere in Scripture. Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples (CEV)

The Walk to Emmaus (NLT)

24:17a

He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently

Jesus asked them, “What are you^(plur) talking about so intently/earnestly
Then Jesus asked them, “What are you^(dual) debating/discussing

24:17b

as you walk along?”

as you are walking?”
while you walk?”

24:17a–b

He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently…?”: In Greek this question is more literally, “What words are these that you are exchanging with each other…?” Jesus was asking them to explain the topic that they were discussing. He already knew the answer to his question. The question was a way for him to join the discussion. The context shows that the two disciples also knew that Jesus had heard some of their discussion.

Some other ways to translate this question are:

Then he said to them, “What are these matters you are discussing so intently…?” (NET)

He asked them, “What is it you are debating…?” (REB)

discussing so intently as you walk along: The Greek word that the BSB translates as discussing literally means “throwing back and forth.” This is a figurative way to indicate that the discussion was excited, and both disciples were saying things and asking each other questions. They were having this conversation as they walked on the road, and Jesus had heard at least part of their discussion. Describe this type of conversation on the road in a natural way in your language.

24:17c

They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

They stopped walking, and their faces showed that they were very sad.
The two disciples paused in their walk, looking grief-stricken.

They stood still: The two disciples had been walking along, but when Jesus asked this question, they stopped walking for a little while. Some other ways to translate They stood still are:

They stopped walking

Then they stood there

with sadness on their faces: The Greek word that the BSB translates as with sadness on their faces indicates that the two men looked sad. Use a natural way in your language to describe a person who is very sad. The two disciples were looking sad because they were thinking about how Jesus had been crucified and buried. Some other ways to translate it in English are:

and looked very sad (GW)

it was obvious from their faces/eyes that they were sad

looking sad and gloomy (CEV)

In some languages there is an idiom to describe this. For example:

sadness written across their faces (NLT)

their faces drawn with misery (JBP)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

αὐτούς & ἀντιβάλλετε & περιπατοῦντες & ἐστάθησαν

them & ˱you_all˲_˓are˒_exchanging & walking & ˱they˲_˓were˒_stood_‹still›

Since Jesus is speaking to two men, all of these expressions would be in the dual form, if your language uses that form. (Your language might even put the adjective gloomy, which is plural in Greek, in the dual, since it describes the two men.)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι οὓς ἀντιβάλλετε πρὸς ἀλλήλους

¬the words these (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν Δέ πρός αὐτούς Τίνες οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι οὕς ἀντιβάλλετε πρός ἀλλήλους περιπατοῦντες Καί ἐστάθησαν σκυθρωποί)

Jesus is using the term words to describe what the men had been saying using words. Alternate translation: [these things that you have been saying to one another]

ἐστάθησαν, σκυθρωποί

˱they˲_˓were˒_stood_‹still› downcast

Alternate translation: [they stopped walking and looked sad]
