- And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.
- And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place.
- While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.
- But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
- And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad.
|
- And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
- And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
- And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
- But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
- And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
|
- One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"
- And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,
- and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.
- "But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.
- "But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,
|
- 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 there in these days?
- 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:
- And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
- 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.
- Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
|
- and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also 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 exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see."
- And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
- "Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"
- Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
|
- 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.
- 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.
- Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
- Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
- And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
|
- And they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as though He were going farther.
- But they urged Him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is now nearly over." So He went in to stay with them.
- When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.
- Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.
- They said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?"
|
- And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
- 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.
- And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
- And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
- 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?
|
- And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven and those who were with them,
- saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon."
- They began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
|
- And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
- Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
- And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
