LUKE Chap. XXIV. from Ver. 13. to Ver. 36.

MARK Chap. XVI. Ver. 12, 13.

His second appearing: viz to Peter and Alpheus going to Emmaus

THE same day in the afternoon two of them went to Emmaus a Town sixty furlongs, or seven miles and a half from Jerusalem. Josephus placeth it at the very same di∣stance De Bello lib. 7. cap. 27. calling it there Ammaus, and relating how Vespasian after the destruction of Jerusalem, gave it for the habitation of some of the Roman souldierry left there. But in Antiq. lib. 17. cap. 12. he calls it Emmaus, and relates how it was fired by Varus, &c. It lay in the way towards some part of Galilee, and it may be these two men were now returning home thither, and intended to lodge at Emmaus the first night: but now they stop their journey and return thence the same night to Jerusalem. The two were Peter, and Alpheus the Father of three Apostles, who also was called Cleopas. See ver. 18. & 34. of this appearance to Peter, Paul speaks, 1 Cor. 15. 5.

And that Alpheus and Cleopas were but one and the same person, may not only be con∣jectured from the nearness of the sound, and from their being written in Hebrew with the same letters, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 but it is made plain in John 19. 25. Where she is called Mary the Wife of Cleopas, who in the other Evangelists is clearly evidenced to be Mary the Wife of Alpheus. the mother of James and Joses, &c. Mat. 27. 56. Mar. 15. 40.
