13 And lo! twain of them went in that day into a castle [And lo! two of them went in that day to a castle], that was from Jerusalem the space of sixty furlongs, by name Emmaus.

14 And they spake together of all these things that had befallen.

15 And it was done, the while they talked, and sought by themselves, Jesus himself approached, and went with them. [And it was done, while they talked, and sought with themselves, and Jesus himself nighing, went with them.]

16 But their eyes were holden, that they knew him not.

17 And he said to them, What be these words, that ye speak together wandering, and ye be sorrowful?

18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, answered, and said [to him], Thou thyself art a pilgrim in Jerusalem[a], and hast thou not known, what things be done in it in these days?

19 To whom he said, What things? And they said to him, Of Jesus of Nazareth, that was a man prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;

20 and how the high priests and our princes betook him into condemnation of death [and how the highest priests and our princes betook him into damnation of death], and crucified him.

21 But we hoped, that he should have again-bought Israel. And now on all these things the third day is to day, that these things were done.

22 But also some women of ours made us afeared, which before day were at the grave [which before the light were at the grave];

23 and when his body was not found, they came, and said, that they saw also a sight of angels [they came, saying, them also to have seen a sight of angels], which said, that he liveth.

24 And some [men] of ours went to the grave, and they found so as the women said, but they found not him [but him they found not].

25 And he said to them, A! fools [O! fools], and slow of heart to believe in all things that the prophets have spoken.

26 Whether it behooved not Christ to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?

27 And he began at Moses and at all the prophets, and declared to them in all scriptures, that were of him. [And he beginning at Moses and all the prophets, expounded to them in all scriptures, which were of him.]

28 And they came nigh to the castle, whither they went. And he made countenance that he would go further.

29 And they constrained him, and said [saying], Dwell with us, for it draweth to night, and the day is now bowed down. And he entered [in] with them.

30 And it was done, while he sat at the meat with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and took to them [and gave to them].

31 And the eyes of them were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished from their eyes.

32 And they said together, Whether our heart was not burning in us, while he spake to us in the way, and [he] opened to us [the] scriptures?

33 And they rose up in the same hour, and went again into Jerusalem [to Jerusalem], and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 saying, That the Lord is risen verily, and appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how they knew him in breaking of bread.
