*
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 held back that they should not know him .
*
And he said unto them ,
*
And the one of them ,
whose name was Cleopas ,
answering said unto him ,
Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem ,
and have not known the things which are come to pass there in these days ?
*
And he said unto them ,
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 ,
today is the third day since these things were done .
*
Yes ,
and certain women also of our company made us astonished ,
which were early at the sepulcher ;
*
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 those who were with us went to the sepulcher ,
and found it even so as the women had said :
but him they saw not .
*
Then he said unto them ,

*
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets ,
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself .
*
And they drew close unto the village ,
to where 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 food with them ,
he took bread ,
and blessed it ,
and broke ,
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 has appeared to Simon .
*
And they told what things were done on the way ,
and how he was known of them in breaking of bread .
