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. |
