13 On that day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, seven miles distant from Jerusalem,
14 and they were talking to each other about all these occurrences.
15 It happened as they talked and discussed that Jesus himself drew near and walked along with them.
16 But their eyes were restrained from recognizing him.
17 He said to them, "What are these matters that you are debating with each other as you walk?" They stood still with sad faces.
18 One of them, named Cleopas, said to him, "Are you a stranger living alone in Jerusalem and do you not know the things that have happened there in recent days?"
19 He said to them, "What things?" They said to him, "The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and word before God and all the people \'97
20 how our high priests and leading men handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.
21 But we were hoping that he was the one who was to redeem Israel. But now, however, the third day is passing since these things took place.
22 Yet some women from our company amazed us. They went at dawn to the tomb
23 and did not find his body, but came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.
24 Some of our company went out to the tomb and found things as the women had said, but they did not see him."
25 Jesus said to them, "O men lacking insight and slow in heart to believe all that the prophets spoke!
26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
27 Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things about himself.
28 They drew near to the village where they were going and he acted as if he were going on.
29 But they urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the sun is already low." So he went in to stay with them.
30 As he reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to them.
31 And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; but he vanished from their sight.
32 They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us when he was talking to us on the road and was explaining the Scriptures to us?"
