13And,
behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus,
which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14And
they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15And
it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned,
Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16But
their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17And
he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye
have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18And
the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him,
Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the
things which are come to pass there in these days?
19And he said
unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus
of Nazareth,
|
which
was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the
people:
20And
how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned
to death, and have crucified him.
21But
we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel:
and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things
were done.
22Yea,
and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which
were early at the sepulchre;
23And
when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had
also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24And
certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and
found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25Then
he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken:
|
26Ought
not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his
glory? 27And beginning at Moses and all the
prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things
concerning himself.
28And
they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as
though he would have gone further.
29But
they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with
them.
30And
it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and
blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31And
their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of
their sight.
32And
they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while
he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the
scriptures?
