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.

  1. Luke 24:18 And one answering, to whom the name was Cleopas, said to him, Thou alone art a pilgrim in Jerusalem

13 And behold, two of them set out that same day for a town called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, 14 and they talked together about all these things that had happened. 15 And it so was, as they conversed together and discussed, that Jesus himself drew near and went alongside them. 16 But their eyes were held, so they could not know him. 17 And he said to them, What sort of conversations are these that you are having with each other as you walk and are sad?

18 And the one named Cleopas answered and said to him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and do not know about the things that have happened there in these days?

19 Jesus said to them, What things?

And they said to him, Of Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how the high priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it was he who would deliver Israel. And regarding all these things, today is just the third day since they happened. 22 Yea, and also certain women of our company have us mystified. They went early to the sepulchre, 23 but did not find his body, and came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. 24 And some of those who were with us went their way to the sepulchre and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.

25 And he said to them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?

27 And he began at Moses and at all the prophets, and interpreted to them all the scriptures that were written about him. 28 And they drew near the town they were headed to, and Jesus made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is drawing towards night and the day is far past. And he went in to stay with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at food with them, he took bread, blessed it, broke, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said between themselves, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us along the road and as he opened to us the scriptures?

33 And they rose up the same hour and returned again to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, 34 who said, The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden 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 the 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 are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which 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 which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, 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 at 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 went: 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 brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
