* And , behold , two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus , which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs . * And they talked together of all these things which had happened . * And it came to pass , that , while they communed together and reasoned , Jesus himself drew near , and went with them . * But their eyes were holden that they should not know him . * And he said unto them , What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another , as ye walk , and are sad ? * And the one of them , whose name was Cleopas , answering said unto him , Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem , and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days ? * And he said unto them , What things ? And they said unto him , Concerning Jesus of Nazareth , which 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 have crucified him . * But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel : and beside all this , to day is the third day since these things were done . * Yea , and certain women also of our company made us astonished , which were early at the sepulchre ; * And when they found not his body , they came , saying , that they had also seen a vision of angels , which said that he was alive . * And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre , and found it even so as the women had said : but him they saw not . * Then he said unto them , O fools , and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken : * Ought not Christ to have suffered these things , and to enter into his glory ? * And beginning at Moses and all the prophets , he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself . * And they drew nigh unto the village , whither they went : and he made as though he would have gone further . * But they constrained him , saying , Abide with us : for it is toward evening , and the day is far spent . And he went in to tarry with them . * And it came to pass , as he sat at meat with them , he took bread , and blessed it , and brake , and gave to them . * And their eyes were opened , and they knew him ; and he vanished out of their sight . * And they said one to another , Did not our heart burn within us , while he talked with us by the way , and while he opened to us the scriptures ? * And they rose up the same hour , and returned to Jerusalem , and found the eleven gathered together , and them that were with them , * Saying , The Lord is risen indeed , and hath appeared to Simon . * And they told what things were done in the way , and how he was known of them in breaking of bread .
