That
same day, two followers of Jesus were going to Emmaus, a village seven miles
from Jerusalem, and they were talking to each other about all the things that
had happened. While they were talking and debating these things, Jesus himself
approached and began to accompany them, but their eyes were not able to
recognize him.
He asked, “What is it you are talking about?” The two stood still, looking sad. Then the one named Cleophas answered, “Why, it seems you are the only traveler to Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has happened there these past few days.” And he asked, “What is it?”
They
replied, “It is about Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet, you know, mighty in
word and deed before God and the people. But the chief priests and our rulers
sentenced him to death. They handed him over to be crucified. We had hoped that
he would redeem Israel.
It
is now the third day since all this took place. It is also true that some women
of our group have disturbed us. When they went to the tomb at dawn, they did
not find his body; and they came and told us that they had had a vision of
angels, who said that Jesus was alive. Some of our people went to the tomb and
found everything just as the women had said, but they did not find a body in
the tomb.”
He
said to them, “How dull you are, how slow of understanding! Is the message of
the prophets too difficult for you to understand? Is it not written that the
Christ should suffer all this, and then enter his glory?” Then starting with
Moses, and going through the prophets, he explained to them everything in the
Scriptures concerning himself.
As
they drew near the village they were heading for, Jesus made as if to go
farther. But they prevailed upon him, “Stay with us, for night comes quickly.
The day is now almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. When they were at
table, he took the bread, said a blessing, broke it, and gave each a piece.
Then
their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; but he vanished out of their
sight. And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us
when he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures?”
They
immediately set out and re turned to Jerusalem. There, they found the Eleven
and their companions gathered together. They were greeted by these words: “Yes,
it is true, the Lord is risen! He has appeared to Simon!” Then the two told
what had happened on the road to Emmaus, and how Jesus had made himself known,
when he broke bread with them.
