Luke 24:32

Did not our heart burn? A figure of speech (see Ps. 39:3; Jer. 20:9). The form of the question in Greek demands an affirmative answer (see on Luke 6:39). Spiritual illumination had been penetrating the darkness of their souls while they listened with rapt attention to Jesus unfolding the Scriptures. Now they realized what had happened to them. The gloom was gone. The presence of Christ had illuminated their humble home, and glorious truths He had unfolded to them dispelled the shadows of doubt and uncertainty that had fallen across their minds. They probably thought to themselves that this stranger had spoken as Jesus would have, had He been still alive and with them.

The heart experience of these two disciples will be the experience of those who listen intently to the voice of Heaven speaking to their hearts through the Sacred Word. Those who find the OT Scriptures blurred and dull to their out-of-focus thinking, should come in humility to Jesus and learn of Him (see on v. 27).

While he talked. Probably for about two hours (see on v. 14).
