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?

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?
