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. |
