Luke 24:16

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that ^aJesus Himself drew near and went with them.

16 But ^atheir eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you¹ walk and are sad?”

18 Then the one ^awhose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”

Were holden that they should not know him (ekratounto tou mh epignwnai auton). Imperfect passive of kratew, continued being held, with the ablative case of the articular infinitive, "from recognizing him," from knowing him fully (epi-gnwnai, ingressive aorist of epiginwsko). The mh is a redundant negative after the negative idea in ekratounto.
