28 And they approached the village where they were going, and (A)He gave the impression that He was going farther. 29 And so they strongly urged Him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is getting toward evening, and the day [a]is now nearly over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30 And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and (B)blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them. 31 And then their (C)eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from [b]their sight. 32 They said to one another, “[c]Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He (D)was [d]explaining the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and (E)found the eleven gathered together and (F)those who were with them, 34 saying, “(G)The Lord has really risen and (H)has appeared to Simon!” 35 They began to relate [e]their experiences on the road, and how (I)He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it(A) and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,(B) and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us(C) while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures(D) to us?”

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord(E) has risen and has appeared to Simon.”(F) 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.(G)
