13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emma\\u2032us, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem,
14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
17 And he said to them, \\u201cWhat is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?\\u201d And they stood still, looking sad.
18 Then one of them, named Cle\\u2032opas, answered him, \\u201cAre you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?\\u201d
19 And he said to them, \\u201cWhat things?\\u201d And they said to him, \\u201cConcerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened.
22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning
23 and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see.\\u201d
25 And he said to them, \\u201cO foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?\\u201d And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
(Luke 24:13-27 RSV)

So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further,but they constrained him, saying, \\u201cStay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.\\u201d So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.They said to each other, \\u201cDid not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?\\u201dAnd they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,who said, \\u201cThe Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!\\u201dThen they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them.
(Luke 24:28-36 RSV)
