I guess I'm not communicating very well. Sorry about that. I was not considering "their eyes were opened." I was considering the phrase, "he vanished out of their sight." They were looking at him one moment, recognized that this was Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior, and immediately Jesus became invisible. He vanished. Although he was invisible, that does not mean that he did not have a body. It seems to me that part of the glory of the Father is invisibility which Jesus also shares with him. Peace be with you.
