Luke Chapter 24, Verse 16
From BibleWiki
16: οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτων εκρατουντο του μη επιγνωναι αυτον
16: But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
16: But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
Their eyes were holden. This expression is used merely to denote that
they did not know who he was. It does not appear that there was anything
supernatural or miraculous in it, or that God used any power to blind
them. It may easily be accounted for without any such supposition; for,
1st. Jesus appeared in another form (Mk 16:12) -- that is, different from his usual appearance.
2nd. They were not expecting to see him -- indeed, they did not suppose that he was alive and it required the strongest evidence to convince them that he was really risen from the dead.
