Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 24:15

"And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them." — Luke 24:15 (ASV)

While they communed together . . .—The verb is the same as that translated “talked” in the preceding verse.

May we think that it was in tender sympathy with the trials to which their thoughtful and yearning disposition specially exposed them, that their Master thus drew near to them?

And He came—partly, it may be, with altered attire and tone, partly by holding their senses under supernatural control—so that they did not know Him. He was to them as a man of like passions with themselves. (Compare to the appearance to Mary Magdalene, John 20:15).
