‏ Luke 24:14

 They communed ( ωμιλουν ). Imperfect active of  ομιλεω, old and common verb (from  ομιλος, in company with). In the N.T. only here (and verse 15) and Ac 20:11; 24:26. Our word homiletics is derived from this word for preaching was at first largely conversational in style and not declamatory.
