That He was the messiah who had to suffer, die and be resurrected to life again:
Luke 24:22-27New International Version (NIV)
22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."
25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Cleopas and his companion were prevented from recognising Jesus until they invited him in for supper. As he blessed and broke the bread we are told by Luke that 'theyr eyes were opened' and, as they recognised him, he disappeared from view.
There have been many attempts to explain this - including their recognition only after seeing the wound marks in his hands as he broke the bread. However, there is no real evidence or explanation in scripture as to why they only recognised him at this event, unless it was actually God's/Christ's own will.
hello
The term 'disciples' means 'imitator' that is followers of Jesus Christ attempting to do things His way. The 'inner group' of disciples that were given to Jesus by His Father are called the 12 Apostles.
In the account of the disciples walking to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), it is said that "they were kept from recognizing him." Here Luke is giving the explanation (that God had kept them from recognizing Jesus) for something that he did not think could be explained in the normal way. The same can be assumed to have happened with Mary Magdalene (John 20:14), when she met Jesus in the garden.
Jesus used the OT to teach the disciples on the road to Emmaus. In Luke 24:27 Jesus taught the disciples from 'Moses and the prophets'. Jesus also used quotes from the OT as in Luke 20:17, Luke 20:42. The Old Testament is part of the Bible because it shows us about the creation of the world and man and how God has dealt with man through the ages. It also tells us a lot about God's character, the way of salvation and has many prophecies about the coming saviour.
During the Last Supper when Jesus shared the bread and the wine He said, "As often as you do this, do so in rememberence of Me."

Jesus had 12 apostles although many other people followed Jesus around and tried to assist him and are called disciples. All of those that follow our Lord, living and dead, are called disciples. We have no way of knowing this number.
All religions have disciples. A disciple is a follower of what ever religion they desire. Christian disciples follow Jesus Christ's teachings in the Bible. A disciple of Jesus has the responsibility to tell other people about Jesus Christ. In this way people can know what Jesus Christ did for the world and if called by God for salvation can respond to that call. Down through the centuries disciples of Christ have spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and many people now have eternal life. Christians believe that Jesus is "the way, the truth and the life" and that no one comes to the Father (God) except through Jesus ( John 14:6).
The bible does not give their names, but tells us that there were two disciples on the way to Emmamus.
Answer 1The stopped what they were doing, gave up everything and followed him.Answer 2They were like "Duuude... no way!" and played air guitar.
I am sure there were many women disciples of Jesus. A disciple is someone who has been taught or trained in some way and Jesus did not restrict his teaching to men only.But there were no women among the 12 disciples. The twelve were the ones Jesus chose to be the leaders of the new Christians after He had gone. They received special training and teaching from Him to do this work.Probably He chose men because it was relevant to Jewish society at that time.
It all depends on who painted it.
Matthew: In Galilee.Luke: In Jerusalem.Matthew says that when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary visited the tomb an angel appeared to them and said: "Go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him" (xxviii, 7). As they ran to convey this intelligence, Jesus himself met them and repeated the command: "Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me" (10). "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him" (16, 17).Luke (xxiv, 13-35) states that on the day of the resurrection Jesus journeyed to Emmaus, a village some distance from Jerusalem, with Cleopas and his companion. They did not recognize him until after their arrival there, when they returned at once to Jerusalem and informed the disciples. "As they thus spake Jesus himself stood in the midst of them" (36). He conversed with them for a time, after which "he led them out as far as to Bethany" where he took his final leave of them and ascended to heaven (38-51). Instead of bidding them go to Galilee, a three days journey from Jerusalem, as Matthew states, his command was "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high," which, according to Acts (ii, 1-13), was not until the day of Pentecost, seven weeks later.Matthew's narrative forbids the supposition of any meeting in Judea, while Luke's precludes the possibility of a meeting in Galilee. Regarding this discrepancy Dean Alford says: "We must be content to walk by faith, and not by sight" (Greek Testament, p. 905).Source; see link "Resurrection of Jesus" on leftSee also Related Questions on leftAnswerTo answer the question directly, the first place where Jesus appeared to His disciples was clearly in Jerusalem, where they were gathered behind closed doors for fear.
