13 And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

14 And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

15 And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

16 But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

17 And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?

18 Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

19 And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

21 But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

22 And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

23 And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

24 And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

25 And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

27 And he made clear to them all the things in the Writings, from Moses and from all the prophets, which had to do with himself.

28 And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

29 But they kept him back, saying, Do not go, for evening is near, the day is almost gone. And he went in with them.

30 And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

31 And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

32 And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?

33 And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

34 And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

35 And they gave an account of the things which had taken place on the way, and how, when he gave them bread, they had knowledge of him.

13 And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;

14 and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.

15 And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;

16 but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.

17 And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?

18 And one {of them}, named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?

19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, 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 {the} judgment of death and crucified him.

21 But *we* had hoped that *he* was {the one} who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.

22 And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,

23 and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.

24 And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.

25 And *he* said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?

27 And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and *he* made as though he would go farther.

29 And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.

30 And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.

32 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, {and} as he opened the scriptures to us?

33 And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,

34 saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.

35 And they related what {had happened} on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
