* Now behold , two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus , which was seven miles from Jerusalem . * And they talked together of all these things which had happened . * So it was , while they conversed and reasoned , that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them . * But their eyes were restrained , so that they did not know Him . * And He said to them , "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad ?" * Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him , "Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem , and have You not known the things which happened there in these days ?" * And He said to them , "What things ?" So they said to Him , "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth , who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people , * and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death , and crucified Him . * But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel . Indeed , besides all this , today is the third day since these things happened . * Yes , and certain women of our company , who arrived at the tomb early , astonished us . * When they did not find His body , they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive . * And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said ; but Him they did not see ." * Then He said to them , "O foolish ones , and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken ! * Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory ?" * And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets , He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself . * Then they drew near to the village where they were going , and He indicated that He would have gone farther . * But they constrained Him , saying , "Abide with us , for it is toward evening , and the day is far spent ." And He went in to stay with them . * Now it came to pass , as He sat at the table with them , that He took bread , blessed and broke it , and gave it to them . * Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him ; and He vanished from their sight . * And they said to one another , "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road , and while He opened the Scriptures to us ?" * So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem , and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together , * saying , "The Lord is risen indeed , and has appeared to Simon !" * And they told about the things that had happened on the road , and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread .
