Luke 24:13-49
Authorized (King James) Version
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. 35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

The Emmaus Disciples
13 Now(A) that same day two of them were on their way to a village called[a] Emmaus, which was about seven miles[b](B) from Jerusalem.(C) 14 Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. 15 And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them. 16 But they[c] were prevented from recognizing Him.(D) 17 Then He asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having[d] with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.
18 The one named Cleopas answered Him, “Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”(E)
19 “What things?” He asked them.
So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,(F) who was a Prophet(G) powerful in action and speech(H) before God and all the people,(I) 20 and how our chief priests and leaders(J) handed Him over to be sentenced to death,(K) and they crucified Him.(L) 21 But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem(M) Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day(N) since these things happened. 22 Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb, 23 and when they didn’t find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”(O)
25 He said to them, “How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken!(P) 26 Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer(Q) these things and enter into His glory?”(R) 27 Then beginning with Moses(S) and all the Prophets,(T) He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.(U)
28 They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther.(V) 29 But they urged Him: “Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.
30 It was as He reclined at the table with them that He took the bread, blessed and broke(W) it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened,(X) and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.(Y) 32 So they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures(Z) to us?” 33 That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven(AA) and those with them gathered together, 34 who said,[e] “The Lord has certainly been raised, and has appeared to Simon!”(AB) 35 Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.(AC)
The Reality of the Risen Jesus
36 And(AD) as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them, “Peace(AE) to you!” 37 But they were startled and terrified(AF) and thought they were seeing a ghost.(AG) 38 “Why are you troubled?”(AH) He asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself!(AI) Touch Me and see,(AJ) because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” 40 Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet. 41 But while they still were amazed and unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,[f] 43 and He took it and ate in their presence.
44 Then He told them, “These are My words(AK) that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets,(AL) and the Psalms(AM) must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He opened their minds(AN) to understand(AO) the Scriptures. 46 He also said to them, “This is what is written:[g] The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,(AP) 47 and repentance for[h] forgiveness of sins(AQ) would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations,(AR) beginning at Jerusalem.(AS) 48 You are witnesses(AT) of these things. 49 And look, I am sending you[i] what My Father promised.(AU) As for you, stay in the city[j] until you are empowered[k](AV) from on high.”

The Road to Emmaus
13 And behold, on that very day (A)two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, which was [a]sixty stadia from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them. 16 But (B)their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. 17 And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they came to a stop, looking sad. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You possibly the only one living near Jerusalem [b]who does not know about the things that happened here in these days?” 19 And He said to them, “What sort of things?” And they said to Him, “Those about (C)Jesus the Nazarene, who proved to be a (D)prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our (E)rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him. 21 But we [c]were hoping that it was He who was going to (F)redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22 But also some women among us left us bewildered. (G)When they were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. 24 And so some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see.” 25 And then He said to them, “[d]You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that (H)the prophets have spoken! 26 (I)Was it not necessary for the [e]Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” 27 Then beginning [f]with (J)Moses and [g]with all the (K)Prophets, He explained to them the things written about Himself in all the Scriptures.
28 And they approached the village where they were going, and (L)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 [h]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 (M)blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them. 31 And then their (N)eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from [i]their sight. 32 They said to one another, “[j]Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He (O)was [k]explaining the Scriptures to us?” 33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and (P)found the eleven gathered together and (Q)those who were with them, 34 saying, “(R)The Lord has really risen and (S)has appeared to Simon!” 35 They began to relate [l]their experiences on the road, and how (T)He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.
Other Appearances
36 Now while they were telling these things, (U)Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened, and thought that they were looking at (V)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your [m]hearts? 39 (W)See My hands and My feet, that [n]it is I Myself; (X)touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 While they still [o](Y)could not believe it because of their joy and astonishment, He said to them, “(Z)Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They served Him a piece of broiled fish; 43 and He took it and (AA)ate it in front of them.
44 Now He said to them, “(AB)These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all the things that are written about Me in the (AC)Law of Moses and the Prophets and (AD)the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He (AE)opened their [p]minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, “(AF)So it is written, that the [q]Christ would suffer and (AG)rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that (AH)repentance [r]for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed [s]in His name to (AI)all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are (AJ)witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, (AK)I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but (AL)you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

The Road to Emmaus(A)
13 (B)Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was [a]seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that (C)Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. 16 But (D)their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.
17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you [b]walk and are sad?”
18 Then the one (E)whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”
19 And He said to them, “What things?”
So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, (F)who was a Prophet (G)mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 (H)and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping (I)that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. 22 Yes, and (J)certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. 23 When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 24 And (K)certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”
25 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 (L)Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His (M)glory?” 27 And beginning at (N)Moses and (O)all the Prophets, He [c]expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
The Disciples’ Eyes Opened
28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and (P)He [d]indicated that He would have gone farther. 29 But (Q)they constrained Him, saying, (R)“Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.
30 Now it came to pass, as (S)He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.
32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and (T)has appeared to Simon!” 35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was [e]known to them in the breaking of bread.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples(U)
36 (V)Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” 37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen (W)a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. (X)Handle Me and see, for a (Y)spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
40 [f]When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 But while they still did not believe (Z)for joy, and marveled, He said to them, (AA)“Have you any food here?” 42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish [g]and some honeycomb. 43 (AB)And He took it and ate in their presence.
The Scriptures Opened
44 Then He said to them, (AC)“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And (AD)He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
46 Then He said to them, (AE)“Thus it is written, [h]and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and (AF)remission of sins should be preached in His name (AG)to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And (AH)you are witnesses of these things. 49 (AI)Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city [i]of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
