<p>24:29 <i>And they urged him, saying: Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent. And he went in to stay with them</i>- This is all very much the language of John's gospel about the Lord wanting to abide with people. We also have here presented the ideal image of a house church, with the Lord welcomed in and abiding through His Spirit. The Comforter passages assure us that the Lord's presence is just as much with us through His Spirit as it was in physical terms.</p>
