13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois dos seguidores de Jesus estavam indo para um povoado chamado Emaús, que fica a mais ou menos dez quilômetros de Jerusalém. 14 Eles estavam conversando a respeito de tudo o que havia acontecido. 15 Enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o próprio Jesus chegou perto e começou a caminhar com eles, 16 mas alguma coisa não deixou que eles o reconhecessem. 17 Então Jesus perguntou:

— O que é que vocês estão conversando pelo caminho?

Eles pararam, com um jeito triste, 18 e um deles, chamado Cleopas, disse:

— Será que você é o único morador de Jerusalém que não sabe o que aconteceu lá, nestes últimos dias?

19 — O que foi? — perguntou ele.

Eles responderam:

— O que aconteceu com Jesus de Nazaré. Esse homem era profeta e, para Deus e para todo o povo, ele era poderoso em atos e palavras. 20 Os chefes dos sacerdotes e os nossos líderes o entregaram para ser condenado à morte e o crucificaram. 21 E a nossa esperança era que fosse ele quem iria libertar o povo de Israel. Porém já faz três dias que tudo isso aconteceu. 22 Algumas mulheres do nosso grupo nos deixaram espantados, pois foram de madrugada ao túmulo 23 e não encontraram o corpo dele. Voltaram dizendo que viram anjos e que estes afirmaram que ele está vivo. 24 Alguns do nosso grupo foram ao túmulo e viram que realmente aconteceu o que as mulheres disseram, mas não viram Jesus.

25 Então Jesus lhes disse:

— Como vocês demoram a entender e a crer em tudo o que os profetas disseram! 26 Pois era preciso que o Messias sofresse e assim recebesse de Deus toda a glória.

27 E começou a explicar todas as passagens das Escrituras Sagradas que falavam dele, iniciando com os livros de Moisés e os escritos de todos os Profetas.

28 Quando chegaram perto do povoado para onde iam, Jesus fez como quem ia para mais longe. 29 Mas eles insistiram com ele para que ficasse, dizendo:

— Fique conosco porque já é tarde, e a noite vem chegando.

Então Jesus entrou para ficar com os dois. 30 Sentou-se à mesa com eles, pegou o pão e deu graças a Deus. Depois partiu o pão e deu a eles. 31 Aí os olhos deles foram abertos, e eles reconheceram Jesus. Mas ele desapareceu. 32 Então eles disseram um para o outro:

— Não parecia que o nosso coração queimava dentro do peito quando ele nos falava na estrada e nos explicava as Escrituras Sagradas?

33 Eles se levantaram logo e voltaram para Jerusalém, onde encontraram os onze apóstolos reunidos com outros seguidores de Jesus. 34 E os apóstolos diziam:

— De fato, o Senhor foi ressuscitado e foi visto por Simão!

35 Então os dois contaram o que havia acontecido na estrada e como tinham reconhecido o Senhor quando ele havia partido o pão.

13 And behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about sixty furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together, and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.

17 And he said to them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, 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 to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he who would have redeemed Israel: and besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, who were early at the sepulcher.

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 who were with us, went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Ought not Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses, and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh to the village whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and 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, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33 And they rose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven assembled, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known to them in breaking of bread.
