Luke recorded for us a very interesting story, about two travelers, one anonymous one named Cleopas, on the road to Emmaus.
Richard Bauckham wrote that Cleopas (highly likely the same chap in John 19:25 and according to Eusibus, a relative of Jesus) was probably the main reference of this tradition and therefore his name being highlighted [...]
