Road trip: Luke 24:13-35

The storyteller weaves it all together—an unknown traveler named Cleopas and his companion; the resurrected Jesus, who is present but in an unrecognized, mysterious fashion; the travelers’ sudden recognition of Jesus; and his sudden disappearance. I have always loved the story, but have never understood why this particular resurrection appearance is so much richer in detail than those in other accounts.
