This emphasizes the personal nature of Jesus' appearance. It is not an angel or a vision, but Jesus Himself who joins them. This highlights the reality of the resurrection, affirming that Jesus is alive in bodily form. Theologically, this underscores the Christian belief in the physical resurrection of Jesus, a cornerstone of Christian faith. It also fulfills Jesus' promise that He would rise again, as foretold in passages likeMatthew 16:21 andJohn 2:19-22. and walked along with them
The act of walking with them signifies companionship and guidance. In the cultural context of the time, walking together was a common way to travel and converse, symbolizing fellowship and shared journey.

It also prefigures the Christian life as a walk with Jesus, as seen in passages likeColossians 2:6. This act of Jesus walking with them serves as a metaphor for His presence with believers throughout their lives. Persons / Places / Events 1.

If Jesus was physically resurrected, why did His disciples sometimes fail to recognize Him (Luke 24:15-16, John 20:14)?
What reasons support belief in Jesus Christ's resurrection?
Who is the prophet like Moses God will raise?
Why does Mary Magdalene initially fail to recognize Jesus (John 20:14–15), and how do differing Gospel accounts explain or contradict this moment?(15) While they communed together . . .--The verb is the same as that translated "talked" in the preceding verse. Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.--Excluding, as we must do in such a case, the element of chance, we are left to conjecture the reasons for this special manifestation. Neither of the two travellers belonged to the Twelve. They may possibly have been of the number of the Seventy. May we think that it was in tender sympathy with the trials to which their thoughtful and yearning temper specially exposed them, that their Master thus drew near to them? They had cherished the hope that the kingdom of God would immediately appear (Luke 19:11), and now it seemed further off than ever. And He came, partly, it may be, with altered garb and tone, partly as holding their senses under supernatural control, so that they knew Him not. He was to them as a man of like passions with themselves. (Comp. the appearance to Mary Magdalene,John 20:15.) Verse 15.- While they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himselfdrew near, and went with them. One, if not the first, fulfilment of the comforting promise, "Where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the midst of them." Compare also the words of Malachi, "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it" ( Malachi 3:16).
