Luke 24:13-35
Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, 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, Jesus himself came near and
went with them,
16 but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
17 And he said to
them, "What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?" They stood
still, looking sad.
18 Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, "Are
you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place
there in these days?"
19 He asked them, "What things?" They replied, "The things
about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God

condemned to death and crucifi ed 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 these things took
place.
22 Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb
early this morning,
23 and when they did not fi nd his body there, they came back and
told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.

Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women
had said; but they did not see him."
25 Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you
are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared!
26 Was it not
necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?"
27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things
about himself in all the scriptures.
28 As they came near the village to which they were
going, he walked ahead as if he were going on.
29 But they urged him strongly, saying,
"Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went
in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed
and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized
him; and he vanished from their sight.
32 They said to each other, "Were not our hearts
burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the
scriptures to us?"
33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they
found the eleven and their companions gathered together.
34 They were saying, "The
Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!"
35 Then they told what had
happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of
the bread.
