The Road to Emmaus and Recognition of the Risen Lord

Luke 24:13-35

24
Chapter 24
13 And behold, two of them on that very day were going to a village sixty stadia from Jerusalem, named Emmaus. 14 And they were talking with one another about all these things that had happened. 15 And while they were talking and discussing, Jesus drew near and journeyed with them. 16 But their eyes were being held from recognizing him. 17 But he said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you walk?" And they stood still, looking gloomy. 18 But one named Cleopas answered and said to him, “Are you the only one residing as a stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that happened there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, "Which?" But they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and word before God and all the people," 20 how the high priests and our rulers also handed him over to the judgment of death, and they crucified him. 21 But we were hoping that he was the one about to redeem Israel; but indeed, even with all these things, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22 but also certain women from among us astonished us, having gone early to the tomb 23 and not having found his body, they came saying that they have also seen a vision of angels who say he is alive. 24 And some of those with us went to the tomb, and they found it just as the women also said; but they did not see him. 25 And he said to them, "O foolish ones, slow in heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" 26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to have entered into his glory? 27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he pretended to go farther. 29 And they urged him, saying, "Stay with us, because it is toward evening and the day has already declined." And he went in to stay with them. 30 And it happened that when he had reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he became invisible to them. 32 And they said to one another, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he was speaking to us on the way, while he was opening the Scriptures to us?" 33 And rising up that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven gathered together and those with them, 34 saying, "Truly the Lord has been raised and has appeared to Simon." 35 And they were explaining the things on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
