Luke 24: 13 - 35
|
| 13
|
That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma'us, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
|
| 14
|
and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
|
| 15
|
While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
|
| 16
|
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
|
| 17
|
And he said to them, "What is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
|
| 18
|
Then one of them, named Cle'opas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
|
| 19
|
And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
|
| 20
|
and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
|
| 21
|
But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.
|
| 22
|
Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning
|
| 23
|
and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even 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 as the women had said; but him they did not see."
|
| 25
|
And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
|
| 26
|
Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
|
| 27
|
And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
|
| 28
|
So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further,
|
| 29
|
but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them.
|
| 30
|
When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.
|
| 31
|
And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.
|
| 32
|
They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?"
|
| 33
|
And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,
|
| 34
|
who said, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"
|
| 35
|
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
