Luke 24:13-35 - Jesus Encountered On The Road To Emmaus

13 And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village, distant about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, called Emmaus. 14 And they were conversing with each other, concerning all those things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, as they were conversing together, and talking the matter over, even Jesus himself drew near, and walked on with them. 16 But their eyes were under a restraint, that they might not discover him. 17 And he said unto them, What are these discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and bear such a face of dejection?

18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days?

19 And he said to them, Of what sort? and they said to him, Those which relate to Jesus the Nazarean, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and all the people: 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to a sentence of death, and crucified him. 21 But we had entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third day since these things were done. 22 And indeed, certain women belonging to us exceedingly amazed us who were very early at the sepulchre; 23 and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive. 24 And some of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found every thing just as the women had said: but him they did not see.

25 And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself.

28 And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and he was proceeding on, as if going farther. 29 And they warmly pressed him, saying, Stay with us: for the evening draws on, and the day declines. And he went in to stay with them.

30 And it came to pass, when he was sitting down at table with them, taking up a loaf, he blessed it, and breaking, distributed it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he became invisible to them. 32 And they said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he distinctly opened to us the scriptures? 33 And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them crowded together, 34 saying, The Lord is risen assuredly, and hath appeared to Simon. 35 Then these recounted what had passed on the road, and how he was known to them by the breaking of the bread.
