Read Luke 24 in full →The Road to Emmaus
13And behold, atwo of them were going that same day to a village named Emmaus, which was 1sixty stadia from Jerusalem. 14And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened. 15And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them. 16But atheir eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17And He said to them, “What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You 1the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” 19And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about aJesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty bprophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20and how the chief priests and our arulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. 21“But we were hoping that it was He who was going to aredeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened. 22“But also some women among us astounded us. aWhen they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23and not finding His body, they came, saying that they had also 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 exactly as the women also said, but Him they did not see.” 25And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that athe prophets have spoken! 26“aWas it not necessary for the 1Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27Then beginning 1with aMoses and 2with all the bprophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
28And they approached the village where they were going, and aHe acted as though He were going farther. 29But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day 1is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30And it happened that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and ablessed it, and after breaking it, He was giving it to them. 31Then their aeyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from 1their sight. 32And they said to one another, “1Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He awas opening the Scriptures to us?” 33And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and afound gathered together the eleven and bthose with them, 34who were saying, “aThe Lord has really risen and bhas appeared to Simon.” 35And they were relating 1their experiences on the road and how aHe was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
