Luke 24:13-35 - Jesus Encountered On The Road To Emmaus
13 That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking together about all these things that had happened. 15 And as they were talking and discussing them, Jesus himself came up and went with them, 16 but they were prevented from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, "What is all this that you are discussing with each other on your way?" They stopped sadly,
18 and one of them named Cleopas said to him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know what has happened there lately?"
19 And he said, "What is it?" They said to him, "About Jesus of Nazareth, who in the eyes of God and of all the people was a prophet mighty in deed and word, 20 and how the high priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and had him crucified. 21 But we were hoping that he was to be the deliverer of Israel. Why, besides all this, it is three days since it happened. 22 But some women of our number have astounded us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 and could not find his body, but came back and said that they had actually seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. 24 Then some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said, but they did not see him."
25 Then he said to them, "How foolish you are and how slow to believe all that the prophets have said! 26 Did not the Christ have to suffer thus before entering upon his glory?" 27 And he began with Moses and all the prophets and explained to them the passages all through the Scriptures that referred to himself.
28 When they reached the village to which they were going, he acted as though he were going on, 29 but they urged him not to, and said, "Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day is nearly over." So he went in to stay with them.
30 And when he took his place with them at table, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it in pieces and handed it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew him, and he vanished from them. 32 And they said to each other, "Did not our hearts glow when he was talking to us on the road, and was explaining the Scriptures to us?" 33 And they got up immediately and went back to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and their party all together, 34 and learned from them that the Master had really risen and had been seen by Simon. 35 And they told what had happened on the road, and how they had known him when he broke the bread in pieces.
