Well, the pronouns in the Emmaus passage are masculine plural, and "some of our women surprised us" (Luke 24:22) seems to place the disciples in the category of men. And I think Jesus did look different after his resurrection (see John 21:12).

Originally posted by Sparko View PostThey were talking about him and didn't recognize him when he showed up because of cognitive dissonance? That is pretty hard to believe. They would have thought he was a ghost or something, but not just not recognize him, unless he looked different, or somehow mentally blocked them from recognizing him.Last edited by seanD; 04-22-2020, 10:21 AM.
