And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scriptures? The force of the imperfect tenses here х kaiomenee (G2545) een (G2258) ... elalei (G2980) ... dieenoigen (G1272)], denoting what they felt during the whole time of His walk and talk with them, should if possible be preserved; as thus: 'Was not our heart burning within us while He was talking with us on the way, and while He was opening to us the Scriptures?' 'Ah! this accounts for it: We could not understand the glow of self-evidencing light, love, glory, that ravished our hearts; but now we do.' They cannot rest-how could they?-they must go straight back and tell the news. They cannot think of sleeping over it.
