From BibleWiki
32: και ειπον προς αλληλους ουχι η καρδια ημων καιομενη ην εν ημιν ως ελαλει ημιν εν τη οδω και ως διηνοιγεν ημιν τας γραφας
32: And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within
us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to
us the scriptures?
32: And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within
us, whilst he spoke in the way and opened to us the scriptures?
Our heart burn within us. This is an expression denoting the deep
interest and pleasure which they had felt in his discourse before they
knew who he was. They now recalled his instruction; they remembered
how his words reached the heart as he spoke to them; how convincingly
he had showed them that the Messiah ought to suffer, and how, while he
talked to them of the Christ that they so much loved, their hearts glowed
with intense love. This feeling was not confined to them alone. All the
followers of Jesus know how precious and tender are the communications
of Jesus, and how the heart glows with love as they think or hear of
his life, and sufferings, and death.
He opened to us. He explained to us the Scriptures. See Lk 24:27.
