*
And lo !
two of them were going the same day to a village called Emmaus ,
distant a hundred and sixty furlongs from Jerusalem .
*
And they were conversing together about all those things which had taken place .
*
And it came to pass ,
while they were conversing and reasoning ,
that Jesus himself drew near ,
and went with them .
*
But their eyes were restrained from knowing him .
*
And he said to them ,
What discourse is this which ye have one with another ,
as ye are walking ?
And they stood sad .
*
And one ,
whose name was Cleopas ,
answering said to him ,
Art thou the only sojourner in Jerusalem that doth not know the things which have come to pass there in these days ?
*
And he said to them ,
What things ?
And they said to him ,
The things relating to Jesus the Nazarene ,
who was a prophet mighty in word and deed before God and all the people ;
*
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death ,
and crucified him .
*
But we are hoping that it is he who is to redeem Israel ;
moreover ,
besides all this ,
it is the third day since these things were done .
*
And furthermore certain women of our company have amazed us ;
for going early to the tomb ,
*
they did not find his body ,
and came ,
saying that they had even seen a vision of angels ,
who said that he was alive .
*
And some of those who were with us went to the tomb ,
and found it to be as the women had said ;
but him they saw not .
*
And he said to them ,
O dull of apprehension ,
and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken !
*
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things ,
and enter into his glory ?
*
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself .
*
And they drew near to the village whither they were going ;
and he made as though he would go further .
*
But they constrained him ,
saying ,
Abide with us ,
for it is towards evening ,
and the day is now far spent .
And he went in to stay with them .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he was at table with them ,
that he took the bread ,
and blessed it ,
and broke and gave it 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 hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the way ,
while he opened to us the Scriptures ?
*
And they rose up the same hour ,
and returned to Jerusalem ;
and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together ,
*
saying ,
The Lord hath risen indeed ,
and hath appeared to Simon .
*
And they told what had happened on the way ,
and how he became known to them in the breaking of the bread .
