Context: Κλεόπας is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke 24:18, where he is one of the two disciples traveling to the village of Emmaus on the day of Jesus' resurrection. As they walked, they were discussing the recent events of Jesus' crucifixion and the reports of His resurrection. Jesus Himself approached and walked with them, though they were kept from recognizing Him initially. During their conversation, Κλεόπας expressed surprise that the stranger (Jesus) seemed unaware of the recent happenings in Jerusalem concerning Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus then explained to them the Scriptures concerning Himself, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets. It was only later, as Jesus broke bread with them, that their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him. This encounter highlights the fulfillment of prophecy and the revelation of Jesus' identity and mission. Κλεόπας' interaction with Jesus underscores the transformative power of the risen Christ and the importance of understanding Scripture in light of His resurrection.
