From BibleWiki
33: και ανασταντες αυτη τη ωρα υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ και ευρον συνηθροισμενους τους ενδεκα και τους συν αυτοις
33: And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and
found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with
them,
33: And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and
they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them,
The same hour. Though it was late, and they had stopped, as they
thought, for the night, yet such was their joy that they hastened to
tell it to their companions and friends. This was natural and proper,
and it shows how quick and ready they who have found the Saviour are
to tell it to others. Comp. Jn 1:41ff. Young converts to Christ
should hasten to tell their joy, and should not shrink at self-denial
to proclaim to others what God hath done for the soul, Ps 6616.
The eleven. The eleven apostles. Judas was now dead. This shows that the two that went to Emmaus were not apostles.
