These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them - Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him. The disciples, therefore, said unto him - Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover.

I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, - He who, into the world, should come.

They say unto him - Lord! come and see. Jesus wept. The Jews, therefore, were saying - See! how tenderly he loved him!

I thank thee, thou didst hear me: I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake, - that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth.

But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him - Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days? And he said unto them - What things? And, they, said unto him - The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people: In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death, and crucified him. We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel!

And certain of them who were with us departed unto the tomb, - and found so, according as, the women, had said; but, him, they saw not. And, he, said unto them - O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken: - Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory? And, beginning from Moses, and from all the prophets, he thoroughly explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself. And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further. And they constrained him, saying - Abide with us; because it is, towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them. And it came to pass, when he reclined with them, taking the loaf, he blessed, and, breaking it, went on to give unto them. And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them. And they said one to another - Was not, our heart, burning, as he was speaking to us in the way, as he was opening to us the Scriptures? And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, - and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them, saying - In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon! And, they, went on to relate the things, that had passed on the journey, and how he was made known unto them in the breaking of the loaf.

And he said unto them - Why are ye troubled? and for what cause do reasonings arise in your hearts? See my hands, and my feet, - that it is, I, myself: Handle me, and see! because, a spirit, hath not, flesh and bones, as ye perceive, I, have.

And they gave unto him a piece of boiled fish; and, taking it before them, he did eat. And he said unto them - These, are my words, which I spake unto you yet being with you: That all the things that are written in the law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms, concerning me, must needs be fulfilled.
