Luke 24:13-34
Revised Geneva Translation
13 And behold, that same day two of them went to a town called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
14 And they talked together of all these things that had happened.
15 And it happened that as they talked together, and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversations are these that you are having 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 have not known the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “Of Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a Prophet, mighty in deed and in word before God and all people.
20 “And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death and have crucified Him.
21 “But we had hoped that it was He Who would deliver Israel. And today is the third day since all these things happened.
22 “Indeed, and some women among us (who came early to the sepulcher) astonished us.
23 “And when they did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels. Who said that He was alive.

26 “Ought not 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 for them the things which were written of Him in all the Scriptures.
28 And they drew near to the town where they were going. And He pretended like He was going further.
29 But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us! For it is towards evening, and the day is far spent!” So, He went in to stay with them.
30 And it happened that as He sat at table with them, He took the bread, and blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened. And they knew Him. And He vanished.
32 And they said among themselves, “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us along the way and when He opened the Scriptures to us?”
