LUKE 24:15 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN 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)

24:15a

And as they talked and deliberated,

While they were talking/conversing and debating like that,
And then

And as they talked and deliberated: In Greek this clause is more literally “and it happened in their talking and discussing.” This clause introduces the very important fact in 24:15b that Jesus came and walked with them! This clause in 24:15a creates suspense by repeating information from 24:14. It also uses two verbs with similar meanings: talked and deliberated.

In some languages repetition does not create suspense. If that is true in your language, you may want to create the suspense in a different way. For example:

Suddenly (NLT96)

Other ways to translate it are:

While they were talking (GW)

Then as they talked and discussed all these things

Introduce the important event in 24:15b in a natural way in your language.

talked and deliberated: Here Jesus’ followers continued their discussion from 24:14. Some English versions supply the object “these things” to indicate that. In some languages, as in Greek, it may not be necessary to have an object.

The Greek word that the BSB translates as deliberated refers to conversing in a lively way about something. It often refers to arguing or debating. Some other ways to translate talked and deliberated are:

were talking and debating

conversing

24:15b

Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.

Jesus himself came near and walked with them,
Jesus in person approached them and began to walk with them.

Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them: This clause indicates that Jesus began walking with his two followers in a natural way. They did not notice anything unusual. He may have overtaken them from behind or come onto the main road from a side road. There is nothing in the text to imply that Jesus appeared miraculously. Some other ways to translate the clause are:

Jesus approached them and began walking with them (GW)

Jesus himself came near and began walking with them (NCV)

Jesus Himself: Here the word Himself emphasizes that Jesus, the very person they were talking about, was the one who joined them. Some English versions do not include this emphasis. Do what is natural for your language in this context.
