13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. 14 And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 17 And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad. 18 And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass. 22 Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb; 23 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25 And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. 29 And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. 30 And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?

13 OR ecco, due di loro in quello stesso giorno andavano in un castello, il cui nome era Emmaus, distante da Gerusalemme sessanta stadi.

14 Ed essi ragionavan fra loro di tutte queste cose, ch’erano avvenute.

15 Ed avvenne che mentre ragionavano e discorrevano insieme, Gesù si accostò, e si mise a camminar con loro.

16 Or gli occhi loro erano ritenuti, per non conoscerlo.

17 Ed egli disse loro: Quali son questi ragionamenti, che voi tenete tra voi, camminando? e perchè siete mesti?

18 E l’uno, il cui nome era Cleopa, rispondendo, gli disse: Tu solo, dimorando in Gerusalemme, non sai le cose che in essa sono avvenute in questi giorni?

19 Ed egli disse loro: Quali? Ed essi gli dissero: Il fatto di Gesù Nazareno, il quale era un uomo profeta, potente in opere, e in parole, davanti a Dio, e davanti a tutto il popolo.

20 E come i principali sacerdoti, ed i nostri magistrati l’hanno dato ad esser giudicato a morte, e l’hanno crocifisso.

21 Or noi speravamo ch’egli fosse colui che avesse a riscattare Israele; ma ancora, oltre a tutto ciò, benchè sieno tre giorni che queste cose sono avvenute,

22 certe donne d’infra noi ci hanno fatti stupire; perciocchè, essendo andate la mattina a buon’ora al monumento,

23 e non avendo trovato il corpo d’esso, son venute, dicendo d’aver veduta una visione d’angeli, i quali dicono ch’egli vive.

24 Ed alcuni de’ nostri sono andati al monumento, ed hanno trovato così, come le donne avean detto; ma non han veduto Gesù.

25 Allora egli disse loro: O insensati, e tardi di cuore a credere a tutte le cose che i profeti hanno dette!

26 Non conveniva egli che il Cristo sofferisse queste cose, e così entrasse nella sua gloria?

27 E cominciando da Mosè, e seguendo per tutti i profeti, dichiarò loro in tutte le scritture le cose ch’erano di lui.

28 Ed essendo giunti al castello, ove andavano, egli fece vista d’andar più lungi.

29 Ma essi gli fecer forza, dicendo: Rimani con noi, perciocchè ei si fa sera, e il giorno è già dichinato. Egli adunque entrò nell’albergo, per rimaner con loro.

30 E quando egli si fu messo a tavola con loro, prese il pane, e fece la benedizione; e rottolo, lo distribuì loro.

31 E gli occhi loro furono aperti, e lo riconobbero; ma egli sparì da loro.

32 Ed essi dissero l’uno all’altro: Non ardeva il cuor nostro in noi, mentre egli ci parlava per la via, e ci apriva le scritture?
