Jesus opened the understanding of the disciples so that they could understand the scriptures.
These people lived with Jesus and were with him at the crucifixion, like John, and they lived every miracle with Jesus. They knew him face to face and yet, their understanding needed to be opened so that they could understand the scriptures.
ONLY CHRIST CAN OPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING so that we can understand the scriptures.
