The Road to Emmaus appearance occurs in which gospel?

• A. Mark
• B. John
• C. Matthew
• D. Luke

Answer: (D)

The Road to Emmaus appearance is described in Luke’s Gospel (Luke 24:13-35). In this account, two disciples travel from Jerusalem to Emmaus on the day of Jesus’ resurrection, and they encounter Jesus along the road. He explains how Scripture foretells that the Messiah would suffer, die, and rise, and their recognition comes when he breaks bread with them. The scene highlights Luke’s themes of Jesus’ presence with believers, the importance of interpreting Scripture correctly, and the moment of recognition in shared meal fellowship.

Other gospels recount resurrection appearances, but not this specific road narration. Mark focuses on the tomb and later appearances, Matthew on an appearance in Galilee to the disciples, and John on several separate post-resurrection appearances. Because the Road to Emmaus episode is unique to Luke, Luke is the correct source for this particular appearance.
