13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois dos seguidores de Jesus caminhavam para o povoado de Emaús, a onze quilômetros de Jerusalém. 14 No caminho, falavam a respeito de tudo que havia acontecido. 15 Enquanto conversavam e discutiam, o próprio Jesus se aproximou e começou a andar com eles. 16 Os olhos deles, porém, estavam como que impedidos de reconhecê-lo.

17 Jesus lhes perguntou: "Sobre o que vocês tanto debatem enquanto caminham?".

Eles pararam, com o rosto entristecido. 18 Então um deles, chamado Cleopas, respondeu: "Você deve ser a única pessoa em Jerusalém que não sabe das coisas que aconteceram lá nos últimos dias".

19 "Que coisas?", perguntou Jesus.

"As coisas que aconteceram com Jesus de Nazaré", responderam eles. "Ele era um profeta de palavras e ações poderosas aos olhos de Deus e de todo o povo. 20 Mas os principais sacerdotes e outros líderes religiosos o entregaram para que fosse condenado à morte e o crucificaram. 21 Tínhamos esperança de que ele fosse aquele que resgataria Israel. Isso tudo aconteceu há três dias.

22 "Algumas mulheres de nosso grupo foram até seu túmulo hoje bem cedo e voltaram contando uma história surpreendente. 23 Disseram que o corpo havia sumido e que viram anjos que lhes disseram que Jesus está vivo. 24 Alguns homens de nosso grupo correram até lá para ver e, de fato, tudo estava como as mulheres disseram, mas não o viram."

25 Então Jesus lhes disse: "Como vocês são tolos! Como custam a entender o que os profetas registraram nas Escrituras! 26 Não percebem que era necessário que o Cristo sofresse essas coisas antes de entrar em sua glória?". 27 Então Jesus os conduziu por todos os escritos de Moisés e dos profetas, explicando o que as Escrituras diziam a respeito dele.

28 Aproximando-se de Emaús, o destino deles, Jesus fez como quem seguiria viagem, 29 mas eles insistiram: "Fique conosco esta noite, pois já é tarde". E Jesus foi para casa com eles. 30 Quando estavam à mesa, ele tomou o pão e o abençoou. Depois, partiu-o e lhes deu. 31 Então os olhos deles foram abertos e o reconheceram. Nesse momento, ele desapareceu.

32 Disseram um ao outro: "Não ardia o nosso coração quando ele falava conosco no caminho e nos explicava as Escrituras?". 33 E, na mesma hora, levantaram-se e voltaram para Jerusalém. Ali, encontraram os onze discípulos e os outros que estavam reunidos com eles, 34 que lhes disseram: "É verdade que o Senhor ressuscitou! Ele apareceu a Pedro!".

35 Então os dois contaram como Jesus tinha aparecido enquanto andavam pelo caminho, e como o haviam reconhecido quando ele partiu o pão.

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles "from Jerusalem.

14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.

15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;

16 but they were kept from recognizing him.

17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.

18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

19 "What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.

20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;

21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.

22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning

23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.

24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."

25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.

29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.

32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together

34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."

35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
