Definitions for Luke 24:28
Clarke's Luke 24:28 Bible Commentary
He made as though he would have gone farther - That is, he was going on, as though he intended to go farther; and so he doubtless would had they not earnestly pressed him to lodge with them. His preaching had made a deep impression upon their hearts, Luke 24:32, and now they feel it their greatest privilege to entertain the preacher.
This is a constant effect of the doctrine of Christ: wherever it is felt, the Author of it, the ever-blessed Jesus, is earnestly entreated to dwell in the heart; and he who preaches it, is amply provided with the necessaries of life by those who have received his testimony.
Barnes's Luke 24:28 Bible Commentary
He made as though he would have gone further - He did not "say" he would go farther, but he kept on as if it was not his intention to stop, and doubtless he "would" have gone on if they had not constrained him to tarry.
Wesley's Luke 24:28 Bible Commentary
24:28 He made as though he would go farther - Walking forward, as if he was going on; and he would have done it, had they not pressed him to stay.
