Luke 24:13-35

13 Jesus Meets Two Disciples Mark 16:12-13On the same day, two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles ^{▼▼Lit. sixty stadia} from Jerusalem.Mark 16:12 14 They were talking with each other about all these things that had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began to walk with them,Matt 18:20; Luke 18:36 16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.John 20:14; 21:4

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing with each other as you're walking along?” They stood still and looked gloomy.

18 The one whose name was Cleopas answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know what happened there these days?”John 19:25

19 He asked them, “What things?”

They answered him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, ^{▼▼Other mss. read the Nazorean} who was a prophet, mighty in the things that he did and said before God and all the people,Matt 21:11; Luke 7:16; John 3:2; 4:19; 6:14; Acts 2:22; 7:22 20 and how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and had him crucified.Luke 23:1; Acts 13:27-28 21 But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem ^{▼▼Or to free} Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.Luke 1:68; 2:38; Acts 1:6 22 Even some of our women have startled us! They were at the tomb early this morningMatt 28:8; Mark 16:10; Luke 16:9-10; John 20:18 23 and didn't find his body there, so they came back and told us that they had actually seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. 24 Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn't see him.”Luke 24:12

25 Then Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} said to them, “O how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe everything the prophets said! 26 The Christ ^{▼▼I.e. The Messiah} had to suffer these things and then enter his glory, didn't he?”Luke 24:46; Acts 17:3; 1Pet 1:11 27 Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all the passages of Scripture about himself.Gen 3:15; 22:18; 26:4; 49:10; Num 21:9; Deut 18:15; Ps 16; 132:11; Isa 7:14; 9:6; 40:10-11; 50:6; Jer 23:5; 33:14-15; Ezek 34:23; 37:25; Dan 9:24; Mic 7:20; Mal 3:1; 4:2; Luke 24:45; John 1:45

28 As they came near the village where they were going, he acted as though he were going on farther.Gen 32:26; 42:7; Mark 6:48 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening and the day is almost gone.” So he went in to stay with them.Gen 19:3; Acts 16:15 30 While he was at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it in pieces, and gave it to them.Matt 14:19 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they knew who he was. And he vanished from them.

32 Then they said to each other, “Our hearts kept burning within us ^{▼▼Other mss. lack within us} as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn't they?”

33 That same hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem and found the eleven and their companions all together. 34 They kept saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!”1Cor 15:5 35 Then they themselves began to tell what had happened on the road and how he was recognized by them when he broke the bread in pieces.
