Luke 24: 13 - 35
|
| 13 | That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma'us, about seven miles from Jerusalem, |
| 14 | and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. |
| 15 | While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. |
| 16 | But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. |
| 17 | And he said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad. |
| 18 | Then one of them, named Cle'opas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?" |
| 19 | And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, |
| 20 | and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. |
| 21 | But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened. |
| 22 | Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning |
| 23 | and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. |
| 24 | Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see." |
| 25 | And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! |
| 26 | Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" |
| 27 | And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. |
| 28 | So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, |
| 29 | but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them. |
| 30 | When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. |
| 31 | And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight. |
| 32 | They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?" |
| 33 | And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, |
| 34 | who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" |
| 35 | Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. |
