Luke 24:13-35

The Road to Emmaus

13 And behold, ^atwo of them were going that same day to a village named Emmaus, which was ¹sixty stadia from Jerusalem. 14 And they were conversing with each other about all these things which had happened. 15 And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus Himself approached and was going with them. 16 But ^atheir eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are discussing with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18 And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You ¹the 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 ^aJesus the Nazarene, who was a mighty ^bprophet in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our ^arulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to ^aredeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened. 22 But also some women among us astounded us. ^aWhen they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and not finding 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 said, but Him they did not see.” 25 And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that ^athe prophets have spoken! 26 ^aWas it not necessary for the ¹Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 Then beginning ¹with ^aMoses and ¹with all the ^bprophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
28 And they approached the village where they were going, and ^aHe acted as though He were going farther. 29 But they urged Him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day ¹is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 And it happened that when He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and ^ablessed it, and after breaking it, He was giving it to them. 31 Then their ^aeyes were opened and they recognized Him. And He vanished from ¹their sight. 32 And they said to one another, “¹Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He ^awas opening the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they stood up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and ^afound gathered together the eleven and ^bthose with them, 34 who were saying, “^aThe Lord has really risen and ^bhas appeared to Simon.” 35 And they were relating ¹their experiences on the road and how ^aHe was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
