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.
