John Calvin Commentary Luke 24:14

"And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened." — Luke 24:14 (ASV)

And they were conversing with each other. It was a proof of godliness that they endeavored to cherish their faith in Christ—though that faith was small and weak—for their conversation had no other object than to employ their reverence for their Master as a shield against the offense of the cross.

Now, though their questions and disputes showed an ignorance that was worthy of reproof—since, after having been informed that the resurrection of Christ would take place, they were astonished at hearing it mentioned—still, their docility afforded Christ an opportunity to remove their error.

For many people intentionally ask questions because they have resolved obstinately to reject the truth. But when people are desirous to embrace the truth submissively, though they may waver because of very small objections and stop at slight difficulties, their holy desire to obey God finds favor in his sight, so that he stretches out his hand to them, brings them to full conviction, and does not permit them to remain irresolute.

We ought, at least, to hold it as certain that when we inquire about Christ, if this is done from a modest desire to learn, the door is opened for him to assist us; nay, we may almost say that we then call upon him himself to be our Teacher, just as irreligious people, by their unholy speeches, drive him to a distance from them.
