Luke 24:13–31

The Emmaus Disciples

¹³Now ^sthat same day two of them were on their way to a village called ^tEmmaus, which was about seven miles ^uvfrom Jerusalem. ^w14Together they were discussing everything that had taken place. ¹⁵And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them. ¹⁶But they ^xwere prevented from recognizing Him. ^y17Then He asked them, “What is this dispute that you’re having ^zwith each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.

¹⁸The one named Cleopas answered Him, “Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?” ^a

¹⁹“What things?” He asked them.

So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, ^bwho was a Prophet ^cpowerful in action and speech ^dbefore God and all the people, ^e20and how our chief priests and leaders ^fhanded Him over to be sentenced to death, ^gand they crucified Him. ^h21But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem ⁱIsrael. Besides all this, it’s the third day ^jsince these things happened. ²²Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb, ²³and when they didn’t find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. ²⁴Some 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.” ^k

²⁵He said to them, “How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken! ^l26Didn’t the ^•Messiah have to suffer ^mthese things and enter into His glory?” ⁿ²⁷Then beginning with Moses ^oand all the Prophets, ^pHe interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. ^q

²⁸They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther. ^r29But 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.

³⁰It was as He reclined at the table with them that He took the bread, blessed and broke ^sit, and gave it to them. ³¹Then their eyes were opened, ^tand they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight. ^u
