Note 12 at Lk. 24:34: There are no recorded appearances of Jesus to Simon Peter prior to this. Therefore, Jesus either appeared to Peter earlier in the day which the gospel writers did not record, or Peter was one of these two disciples that encountered Jesus on the road to Emmaus. For these two men to rush back to the eleven in Jerusalem with the news that Simon Peter had seen the Lord, would imply that indeed Simon Peter was one of these two men.
