- Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
- They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
- As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
- but they were kept from recognizing him.
- He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.
|
- 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.
|
- One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
- "What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
- The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;
- but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.
- In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning
|
- 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,
|
- but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.
- Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see."
- He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
- Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"
- And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
|
- 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.
|
- As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther.
- But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
- When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.
- Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.
- They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
|
- 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?"
|
- They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together
- and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."
- Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
|
- 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.
