Luke 24:13–32

Christ Appears on the Road to Emmaus

Mark 16:12, 13

^13mNow behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was ⁵seven miles from Jerusalem. ¹⁴And they talked together of all these things which had happened. ¹⁵So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that ⁿJesus Himself drew near and went with them. ¹⁶But ^otheir eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

¹⁷And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you ⁶walk and are sad?”

¹⁸Then the one ^pwhose 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?”

¹⁹And He said to them, “What things?”

So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, ^qwho was a Prophet ^rmighty in deed and word before God and all the people, ^20sand how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. ²¹But we were hoping ^tthat it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. ²²Yes, and ^ucertain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. ²³When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. ²⁴And ^vcertain 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.”

²⁵Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! ^26wOught not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His ^xglory?” ²⁷And beginning at ^yMoses and ^zall the Prophets, He ⁷expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

²⁸Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and ^aHe ⁸indicated that He would have gone farther. ²⁹But ^bthey constrained Him, saying, ^c“Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

³⁰Now it came to pass, as ^dHe sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. ³¹Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

³²And 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?”
