¹⁷ And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.

¹⁸ For ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, such as silver and gold, from your vain way of living which ye received by tradition from your fathers,

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,

²⁰ who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.

²¹ By Him ye believe in God, who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently,

²³ being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God which liveth and abideth for ever;

¹³ And behold, two of them were going that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about seven miles.

¹⁴ And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

¹⁵ And it came to pass that while they communed and reasoned together, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.

¹⁶ But their eyes were held, that they should not know Him.

¹⁷ And He said unto them, “What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk and are sad?”

¹⁸ And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto Him, “Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days?”

¹⁹ And He said unto them, “What things?” And they said unto Him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

²⁰ and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death and have crucified Him.

²¹ But we trusted that it had been He who should have redeemed Israel. And besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

²² Yea, and certain women also of our company, who were early at the sepulcher, made us astonished.

²³ And when they found not His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive.

²⁴ And certain of those who were with us went to the sepulcher and found it even so as the women had said, but Him they saw not.”

²⁵ Then He said unto them, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?”

²⁷ And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

²⁸ And they drew nigh unto the village whither they were going, and He made as though He would have gone further.

²⁹ But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening and the day is far spent.” And He went in to tarry with them.

³⁰ And it came to pass, as He sat at meat with them, He took bread and blessed it, and broke and gave it to them.

³¹ And their eyes were opened and they knew Him. And He vanished out of their sight.

³² And they said to one another, “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the way and while He opened to us the Scriptures?”

³³ And they rose up that same hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,

³⁴ saying, “The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon!”

³⁵ And they told what things were done on the way, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.
