Why did the Lord Jesus Christ vanish after He had talked with the two Disciples of Emmaus (Luke 24:13-32)?

In the Holy Gospel of St. Luke 24:13-32 is the account of the Lord Jesus Christ appearing to the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus. This is simply a Resurrection APPEARANCE to two startled followers. One of the followers is Cleopas whom tradition identifies as the brother of Joseph, St. Mary's fiancée, and thus the Lord's earthly uncle, and the second unnamed follower, also according to tradition, is the Evangelist Luke himself. He appeared to them in a veiled way showing concern for their feelings.
