Two disciples ask a pilgrim to eat with them at an inn. They do not realise it is Christ (Luke 24:28-29). The print has a Greek, Latin, French, English, German and Dutch caption, and was used in the following books: Figures de la Bible (Amsterdam: Bernard Picart, 1720) and Taferelen der voornaamste geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament [...] door de vermaarde kunstenaars Hoet, Houbraken, en Picart getekent [...] en met beschrijvingen uitgebreid (Den Haag: Pieter de Hondt, 1728).
