The Road to Emmaus

13 And behold, ^atwo of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was ^{▼▼ Lit 60 stadia; one stadion was about 600 ft}about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. 16 But ^ctheir eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You ^{▼▼ Or visiting Jerusalem alone}the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” 19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about ^eJesus the Nazarene, who was a ^fprophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our ^grulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. 21 “But we were hoping that it was He who was going to ^hredeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened. 22 “But also some women among us amazed us. ⁱWhen they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. 24 “Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.” 25 And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that ^jthe prophets have spoken! 26 ^k“Was it not necessary for the ^{▼▼ I.e. Messiah}Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 Then beginning ^{▼▼ Lit from}with ⁿMoses and ^{▼▼ Lit from}with all the ^pprophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

28 And they approached the village where they were going, and ^qHe acted as though He were going farther. 29 But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day ^{▼▼ Lit has now declined}is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and ^sblessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. 31 Then their ^teyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from ^{▼▼ Lit them}their sight. 32 They said to one another, ^{▼▼ Lit Was not our heart}“Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He ^wwas ^{▼▼ Lit opening}explaining the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and ^yfound gathered together the eleven and ^zthose who were with them, 34 saying, ^aa“The Lord has really risen and ^abhas appeared to Simon.” 35 They began to relate ^{▼▼ Lit the things}their experiences on the road and how ^adHe was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
