24:13 Now ¹  that very day two of them ²  were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles ³  from Jerusalem. ⁴  24:14 They ⁵  were talking to each other about all the things that had happened. 24:15 While ⁶  they were talking and debating ⁷  these things, ⁸  Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them 24:16 (but their eyes were kept ⁹  from recognizing ¹⁰  him). ¹¹  24:17 Then ¹²  he said to them, “What are these matters ¹³  you are discussing so intently ¹⁴  as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad. 24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, ¹⁵  “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know ¹⁶  the things that have happened there ¹⁷  in these days?” 24:19 He ¹⁸  said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man ¹⁹  who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet ²⁰  before God and all the people; 24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over ²¹  to be condemned to death, and crucified ²²  him. 24:21 But we had hoped ²³  that he was the one who was going to redeem ²⁴  Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened. 24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. ²⁵  They ²⁶  were at the tomb early this morning, 24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, ²⁷  who said he was alive. 24:24 Then ²⁸  some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” ²⁹  24:25 So ³⁰  he said to them, “You ³¹  foolish people ³²  – how slow of heart ³³  to believe ³⁴  all that the prophets have spoken! 24:26 Wasn’t ³⁵  it necessary ³⁶  for the Christ ³⁷  to suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 24:27 Then ³⁸  beginning with Moses and all the prophets, ³⁹  he interpreted to them the things written about ⁴⁰  himself in all the scriptures.

24:28 So they approached the village where they were going. He acted as though he wanted to go farther, ⁴¹  24:29 but they urged him, ⁴²  “Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So ⁴³  he went in to stay with them.

24:30 When ⁴⁴  he had taken his place at the table ⁴⁵  with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, ⁴⁶  and gave it to them. 24:31 At this point ⁴⁷  their eyes were opened and they recognized ⁴⁸  him. ⁴⁹  Then ⁵⁰  he vanished out of their sight. 24:32 They ⁵¹  said to each other, “Didn’t ⁵²  our hearts ⁵³  burn within us ⁵⁴  while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining ⁵⁵  the scriptures to us?” 24:33 So ⁵⁶  they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. ⁵⁷  They ⁵⁸  found the eleven and those with them gathered together 24:34 and ⁵⁹  saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has appeared to Simon!” ⁶⁰  24:35 Then they told what had happened on the road, ⁶¹  and how they recognized him ⁶²  when he broke the bread.
