Then they remembered the words of Jesus,

On the same day, two of Jesus' followers were walking to a village called Emmaus, about 60 stadia from Jerusalem.

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.

"What is this that you are saying to each other as you walk along?" Jesus asked. They stopped, with sad looks on their faces,

And then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Jesus: "Are you staying by yourself at Jerusalem, that you have not heard of the things that have happened there within the last few days?"

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:

They answered him, "The events involving Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in what he said and did before God and all the people, and how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and had him crucified.

And, not finding the body of Jesus there, came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he was alive.

So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said; but they did not see Jesus."

"O foolish men," said Jesus, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

Then, beginning from [the writings of] Moses and all the prophets, Jesus explained to the two men about the things referring to Himself [contained] in all these Scripture passages.

When they got near the village to which they were walking, Jesus appeared to be going further;

But they pressed him not to do so. "Stay with us," they said, "for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low." So Jesus went in to stay with them.

And it happened when Jesus had reclined at the dinner table with them [Note: See Matt. 23:6], that He took a [small] loaf of bread, asked God's blessing on it, then broke it and gave [pieces] to the two men.

when looking upon him more intently, they perceiv'd that it was Jesus. but he vanish'd out of sight.

Then the two men said to each other, "Were not our hearts stirred up within us [i.e., our emotions thrilled] when Jesus spoke to us along the road and opened up the Scriptures [to our understanding]?"

So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognized Jesus at the Breaking of the Bread.

While they were relating these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you!

But Jesus said to them: "Why are you so startled? and why do doubts arise in you minds?

While they were still unable to believe it all for very joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them: "Have you anything here to eat?"

Then Jesus said to the apostles, "These are the words that I told you while I was still with you, [when I said] that everything written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me needed to be fulfilled."

And [the need for] a change of heart and life in order to receive the forgiveness of sins [from God] will be preached in Jesus' name [i.e., by His authority] to people of all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

After this, Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and there raised his hands and blessed them.

And the apostles worshiped Jesus, then returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
