Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
Their eyes were holden - It does not appear that there was any thing supernatural here, for the reason why these persons (who were not apostles, see Luk 24:33) did not recollect our Lord is given by Mark, Mar 16:12, who says that Christ appeared to them in another form.
John Gill Bible Commentary
And one of them, whose name was Cleophas,.... Or Alphaeus, for it is the same name; he was one of the seventy disciples, and father of the Apostles James and Jude, and brother to Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Christ, as before observed: answering, said unto him, art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? The Persic version reads, "in these two days": the sense that whereas he appeared to come from Jerusalem, that if he was only a stranger and a sojourner, and not a stated inhabitant there, he could not be ignorant of what had been done there a few days past; or if he was, that he must be the only stranger, and the only man, that was so; for the facts referred to were so notorious, that every one must know them, inhabitant or stranger.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
24:16 God kept them from recognizing him: The Greek uses a passive construction (they were kept from recognizing him) known as a “divine passive,” with God as the implied subject. God intentionally blinded their eyes until the moment of revelation, when Jesus broke bread with them (24:30-31; cp. 2 Kgs 6:17).
Luke 24:16
The Road to Emmaus
15And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.16But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

(Youth Conference 2006) Thirst for the Spirit's Power
By Zac Poonen1.7K57:00ZEC 8:13MAT 6:33LUK 24:16LUK 24:27JHN 7:37In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of not making excuses for God or His work. He shares personal experiences of being called upon to speak when someone else didn't show up and relying on God for the words to say. The speaker encourages the audience to be like a flowing river, constantly giving out what God has given them, rather than being stagnant like a lake. He then references John 7:37-39, where Jesus invites those who are thirsty to come to Him and drink, promising that from their innermost being will flow rivers of living water, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The speaker concludes by urging the audience to be thirsty for more of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
