Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 24:16

16 But their eyes were holden, that they should not know him.

God by his Providence restrained their Eyes, that tho they saw a Man, yet they could not discern who he was. We may learn from hence that the Form or Figure of Christ's Body after his Resurrection, was not changed. His Body had the same Dimensions, the same Quantity, Colour and Figure, and was in it self a proper object for humane Eyes, for otherwise there had been no need for their Eyes to be held. From hence also we may learn the Influence, which God hath upon all our Members and Senses, and how much we depend upon God for a daily Power, to Exercise our natural Faculties Our Lord had no mind that these two Disciples should at first discern who he was, that he might draw out their following Discourses, and from them take occasion to prove from Scripture the certainty of his Resurrection, from this Text and draw out their following Discourses concerning him. From this Text we may gather, how hard the Lutherans are put to it, to maintain the Real presence of the Body of Christ, whereever the Sacrament of the Lords Supper is Administred, for this they must maintain. That altho the Body of Christ after his Resurrection was the same that was Crucified, and so obvious to Sense, yet he had not only a power to make it insensible, and visible, which we grant, but that he hath also a power to multiply it, and make it in one and the same instant, to be in so many places as his Supper is administred in, and also that he willeth it at the same time, to be imperceptible by any humane Senses in all those places, for it is apparent from hence, that it was not at all times imperceptible; it might at this time have been seen, had not the Disciples Eyes been held, that they could not know him.
