Question: Who said to Jesus, "Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not known the things which are come to pass in these days?"
Answer: Cleopas. (Luke 24:18)
Comments: Cleopas was one of the two disciples who encountered Jesus on the road to Emmaus at the conclusion of Luke's gospel. The other is not named. Initially, the two disciples do not recognize Jesus.
One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?" (Luke 24:28, NASB)
It is the only time Cleopas appears in the New Testament. According to church fathers Eusebius (263-339) and Epiphanius (310-403), Cleopas was the brother of Joseph, and therefore the uncle of Jesus.
