On the Road to Emmaus
13That very day ytwo of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles1 from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16zBut their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was aa prophet bmighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and chow our chief priests and drulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was ethe one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now fthe third day since these things happened. 22Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. gThey were at the tomb early in the morning, 23and hwhen they did not find his body, they came back saying that ithey had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24jSome 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.” 25And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26kWas it not necessary that lthe Christ should suffer these things and enter into mhis glory?” 27And nbeginning with oMoses and pall the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
