13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. |
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. |
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. |
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. |
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? |
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass therein these days? |
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: |
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. |
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. |
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; |
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. |
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. |
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: |
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? |
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. |
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. |
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. |
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. |
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. |
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? |
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, |
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. |
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. |
