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)

24:35a

Then the two told what had happened

Then the two disciples told them what happened
Then the two disciples told them that Jesus came and talked with them

24:35b

on the road,

as they walked on the road.
on their journey to Emmaus,

24:35a–b

Then the two: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Then the two is more literally “and they.” The word “they” is emphatic. It refers to the two followers from Emmaus. The phrase “and they” indicates that the focus has shifted to those two followers. It was their turn to tell their news to the group of apostles and other disciples of Jesus.

English versions refer to the two disciples from Emmaus here in different ways. For example:

Then the disciples from Emmaus (CEV)

Then the two followers (NCV)

And those two

told what had happened on the road: The phrase told what had happened indicates that the two disciples informed the group about the events that they had experienced. Here it refers specifically to seeing and talking to Jesus on the road. Use a natural phrase in your language to refer to this. Some other ways to translate it in English are:

began to relate their experiences on the road (NASB)

told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road (NLT)

described what had happened on their journey (REB)

on the road: The phrase on the road means “during the journey” or “while they were walking along.” It is the same phrase that was translated as “on the road” in 24:32. See how you translated it there, but use a natural phrase in this context.

24:35c

and how they had recognized Jesus

They told how they realized that it was Jesus
but they only recognized/knew him

how they had recognized Jesus: In Greek this clause is literally, “how he-was-made-known to them.” This clause is passive. Some ways to translate it are:

As a passive clause. For example:
how he was known to them (RSV)
As an active clause, as the BSB does. For example:
how they had recognized him (NLT)

Translate the clause in a natural way in your language.

they had recognized Jesus: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as they had recognized Jesus is more literally “he-was-recognized.” English versions refer to him in different ways in this phrase.The text referred to him as “Lord” in 24:34. However, it referred to him as “Jesus” in 24:15, when he first came to the Emmaus disciples. After that, he is referred to as “he.” For example:

they had recognized the Lord (GNT)

they had recognized Jesus (GW)

He was recognized by them (NASB)

Refer to him here in a clear and natural way in your language.

24:35d

in the breaking of the bread.

as he broke the bread for them.
as he was breaking/tearing the bread into portions/pieces for them.

in the breaking of the bread: The BSB literally represents the Greek of this clause. This phrase tells what caused the two disciples to recognize Jesus. It refers back to the action in 24:30, where Jesus broke some bread and gave it to them. It is good to translate the action in a similar way here, so that readers can recognize it as the same action. Some other ways to translate it are:

as he was breaking the bread (NLT96)

when he tore the bread

Refer back to this action in a natural way in your language.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοὶ & αὐτοῖς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτοί ἐξηγοῦντο τά ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καί ὡς ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου)

These pronouns refer to the two men who returned from Emmaus. They would be in the dual form, if your language marks that form.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὰ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί αὐτοί ἐξηγοῦντο τά ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καί ὡς ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου)

Luke is telling this story in a concise way. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express more fully what this means. Alternate translation: [what had happened on their journey] or [how Jesus had joined them as they traveled and what they had talked about with him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὡς ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς

how ˱he˲_˓was˒_known ˱to˲_them
