The Evangelist Luke recounts three appearances of Jesus on Easter Day: 1) the one to the women, who were the first to have the courage to come to the tomb early in the morning; 2) the one to the two disciples who had decided to return to their village and their daily tasks; 3) the one to the Twelve, who were still paralyzed by fear in the place where they had shut themselves away. It is the second of these appearances that we have in today’s text.
