Thus Christ discoursed to His disciples, opening their minds that they might understand the Scriptures. The disciples were weary, but the conversation did not flag. Words of life and assurance fell from the Saviour's lips. But still their eyes were holden. As He told them of the overthrow of Jerusalem, they looked upon the doomed city with weeping. But little did they yet suspect who their traveling companion was. They did not think that the subject of their conversation was walking by their side; for Christ referred to Himself as though He were another person. They thought that He was one of those who had been in attendance at the great feast, and who was now returning to his home. He walked as carefully as they over the rough stones, now and then halting with them for a little rest. Thus they proceeded along the mountainous road, while the One who was soon to take His position at God's right hand, and who could say, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth,” walked beside t…
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
Ellen White directly references Matthew 28:18 in this passage.
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."
The EGW passage describes Christ opening the minds of the disciples to understand the Scriptures, directly referencing the event in Luke 24:27.
"During the journey the sun had gone down, and before the travelers reached their place of rest, the laborers in the fields had left their work. As the disciples were about to enter their home, the stranger appeared as though He would continue His journey. But the disciples felt drawn to Him. Their souls hungered to hear more from Him. “Abide with us,” they said. He did not seem to accept the invitation, but they pressed it upon Him, urging, “It is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” Christ yielded to this entreaty and “went in to tarry with them.” DA 800.2"
"But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them."
The EGW passage directly quotes and elaborates on the biblical text, making the connection explicit.
"Had the disciples failed to press their invitation, they would not have known that their traveling companion was the risen Lord. Christ never forces His company upon anyone. He interests Himself in those who need Him. Gladly will He enter the humblest home, and cheer the lowliest heart. But if men are too indifferent to think of the heavenly Guest, or ask Him to abide with them, He passes on. Thus many meet with great loss. They do not know Christ any more than did the disciples as He walked with them by the way. DA 800.3"
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
While not a direct quote, the EGW passage echoes the sentiment of Revelation 3:20 regarding Christ's willingness to enter and abide with those who invite Him, and His passing by those who do not.
"and lo, they see in His hands the print of nails. Both exclaim at once, It is the Lord Jesus! He has risen from the dead! DA 800.4"
"And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord."
Both passages describe Jesus showing his hands (with nail prints) to his disciples after his resurrection, leading to their recognition and joy. The EGW passage is a clear echo of the biblical account.
