SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:13
Y ellos fueron, y lo hicieron saber a los otros; y ni aun a ellos creyeron.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And they went and told it unto the residue , etc..] Upon their return to Jerusalem, which was on the same night, they went to the eleven apostles, and the other disciples that were with them, and related the whole affair to them; how that Jesus had joined them by the way, and discoursed much with them about himself, and expounded the Scriptures on the road; and when they came to the end of their journey, sat down at meat with them, when he was very plainly discerned, and known by them, and then disappeared; (see Luke 24:33,35); neither believed they them . “These two”, as the Arabic version reads; though they were men, and fellow disciples; and this was a repeated testimony, and a second set of witnesses of Christ's resurrection to them; all which aggravates their unbelief: upon sight of them they said, “the Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon”, ( Luke 24:34); the reason of which Dr. Lightfoot thinks was this, that Peter hearing that Christ was risen, and went before them into Galilee, was eager to see him, and therefore took this journey along with Cleophas, which the rest of the disciples knew; and he returning so soon, they concluded he had seen him: but when he, and Cleophas, told the whole affair, they were as unbelieving as ever.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-13 - Better news cannot be brought to disciples in tears, than to tell the of Christ's resurrection. And we should study to comfort disciples tha are mourners, by telling them whatever we have seen of Christ. It was wise providence that the proofs of Christ's resurrection were give gradually, and admitted cautiously, that the assurance with which the apostles preached this doctrine afterwards might the more satisfy. Ye how slowly do we admit the consolations which the word of God hold forth! Therefore while Christ comforts his people, he often sees i needful to rebuke and correct them for hardness of heart in distrustin his promise, as well as in not obeying his holy precepts.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
16:13 {Neither believed they them} (oude ekeinois episteusan). The men fared no better than the women. But Luke's report of the two on the way to Emmaus is to the effect that they met a hearty welcome by them in Jerusalem (#Lu 24:33-35). this shows the independence of the two narratives on this point. There was probably an element who still discredited all the resurrection stories as was true on the mountain in Galilee later when "some doubted" (#Mt 28:17).
