Behold ,
two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus ,
which was sixty stadia {
60 stadia =
about 11 kilometers or about 7 miles .}
from Jerusalem .
*
They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened .
*
It happened ,
while they talked and questioned together ,
that Jesus himself came near ,
and went with them .
*
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him .
*
He said to them , "
What are you talking about as you walk ,
and are sad ?"
*
One of them ,
named Cleopas ,
answered him , "
Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn '
t know the things which have happened there in these days ?"
*
He said to them , "
What things ?"
They said to him , "
The things concerning Jesus ,
the Nazarene ,
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 up to be condemned to death ,
and crucified him .
*
But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel .
Yes ,
and besides all this ,
it is now the third day since these things happened .
*
Also ,
certain women of our company amazed us ,
having arrived early at the tomb ;
*
and when they didn '
t find his body ,
they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels ,
who said that he was alive .
*
Some of us went to the tomb ,
and found it just like the women had said ,
but they didn '
t see him ."
*
He said to them , "
Foolish men ,
and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken !
*
Didn '
t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory ?"
*
Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets ,
he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself .
*
They drew near to the village ,
where they were going ,
and he acted like he would go further .
*
They urged him ,
saying , "
Stay with us ,
for it is almost evening ,
and the day is almost over ."
He went in to stay with them .
*
It happened ,
that when he had sat down at the table with them ,
he took the bread and gave thanks .
Breaking it ,
he gave to them .
*
Their eyes were opened ,
and they recognized him ,
and he vanished out of their sight .
*
They said one to another , "
Weren '
t our hearts burning within us ,
while he spoke to us along the way ,
and while he opened the Scriptures to us ?"
*
They rose up that very hour ,
returned to Jerusalem ,
and found the eleven gathered together ,
and those who were with them ,
*
saying , "
The Lord is risen indeed ,
and has appeared to Simon !"
*
They related the things that happened along the way ,
and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread .
