| 12After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of his followers as they were walking along in the countryside. 13They went back and told the others, but they did not believe them either. | 13That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15As they were talking and discussing these things, Jesus himself drew near and went along with them, 16but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17He said to them, “What are you discussing with each other as you walk along, looking downcast?” 18Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered him, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these last few days?” 19He said to them, “What things?” So they said to him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and how the chief priests and our rulers handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was the one who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, today is now the third day since these things happened. 22Moreover, some of our women amazed us. They were at the tomb early this morning, 23and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it to be so, just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” 25Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish men, how slow of heart you are to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them the things written about himself in all the Scriptures. 28As they drew near to the village where they were going, Jesus acted as though he were going on farther. 29But they urged him not to do so, saying, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening, and the day is drawing to a close.” So he went in to stay with them. 30As he was reclining at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. 32They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as he spoke to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” |
