This phrase reflects the messianic expectations of the Jewish people during the time of Jesus. Many Jews anticipated a political and military Messiah who would liberate them from Roman oppression and restore the kingdom of Israel to its former glory. This hope is rooted in Old Testament prophecies, such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/23-5.htm">Jeremiah 23:5-6</a>, which speak of a coming ruler from the line of David. The disciples' disappointment indicates their misunderstanding of the nature of Jesus' mission, which was spiritual redemption rather than political liberation. This expectation of redemption is also seen in the actions of figures like Simeon in <a href="/luke/2-25.htm">Luke 2:25-32</a>, who awaited the "consolation of Israel."And besides all this, This phrase suggests a culmination of events and emotions. The disciples are recounting the recent happenings that have dashed their hopes. It indicates a sense of finality and resignation, as if to say that all their expectations have been proven wrong. This reflects the deep despair and confusion among Jesus' followers after His crucifixion, as they struggled to reconcile their hopes with the reality of His death.it is the third day since these things took place. The mention of the "third day" is significant in the context of Jesus' resurrection. Jesus had foretold His resurrection on the third day in passages such as <a href="/matthew/16-21.htm">Matthew 16:21</a> and <a href="/luke/9-22.htm">Luke 9:22</a>. The third day is also symbolic in Jewish tradition, often associated with divine intervention and new beginnings, as seen in <a href="/hosea/6-2.htm">Hosea 6:2</a>. The disciples' reference to the third day highlights their awareness of Jesus' predictions, yet their lack of understanding or belief in the resurrection. This sets the stage for the revelation of the risen Christ, emphasizing the fulfillment of prophecy and the transformative power of the resurrection.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/c/cleopas_and_the_other_disciple.htm">Cleopas and the Other Disciple</a> These two disciples were traveling to Emmaus and were discussing the recent events concerning Jesus' crucifixion and the reports of His resurrection. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> Although initially unrecognized by the disciples, Jesus joins them on their journey and engages in conversation about the recent events in Jerusalem. 3. <a href="/topical/e/emmaus.htm">Emmaus</a> A village about seven miles from Jerusalem, where the disciples were heading when they encountered Jesus. 4. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city where Jesus was crucified and where the resurrection was first reported. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_third_day.htm">The Third Day</a> This refers to the time frame since Jesus' crucifixion, significant in Jewish eschatological expectation and prophecy fulfillment.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_redemption.htm">Hope in Redemption</a> The disciples' hope for redemption was not misplaced but misunderstood.

And we who were his friends and followers, we thought we had found in him the Redeemer of Israel, King Messiah! Think! the Redeemer crucified! Although the Redeemer, in the sense they-probably understood the word, was something very different to the sense we give to it, the idea was still something very lofty and sublime. It in-eluded, no doubt, much of earthly glory and dominion for Israel, but in some definite sense the Gentile world, too, would share in the blessings of Messiah. And to think of the shameful cross putting an end to all these hopes! And beside all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. But yet terrible and despairing as was the story of Cleopas and his friend, their tone was not quite hopeless; for they went on, "And now we have come to the third day since they crucified him." No doubt they dwelt a short space on the expression, "third day," telling the Stranger how their dead Master, when alive, had bade his friends watch for the third day from his death. The third day, he had told them, would be the day of his triumphant return to them; and, strangely enough, on the early morning of this third day, something did happen which had stirred, excited, and perplexed them. Certain women of their company, who had been early to the grave of the Master, meaning to embalm the corpse, found the sepulchre empty, and they came back reporting how they had seen a vision of angels there, who told them their Master lived.
