The two disciples were walking to Emmaus completely down, for Jesus had been killed a couple of days ago. In their funk a third person joined their walking and asked them questions and explained that Jesus would need to suffer to be glorified. In Emmaus they recognized that Jesus was who they were talking to. When they recognized him, they returned to Jerusalem giving thanks, for their hearts were lifted when they looked to Jesus.
