24:13 Now 25 that very day two of them 26 were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles 27 from Jerusalem. 28 24:14 They 29 were talking to each other about all the things that had happened. 24:15 While 30 they were talking and debating 31 these things, 32 Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them 24:16 (but their eyes were kept 33 from recognizing 34 him). 35 24:17 Then 36 he said to them, “What are these matters 37 you are discussing so intently 38 as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad. 24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, 39 “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know 40 the things that have happened there 41 in these days?” 24:19 He 42 said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man 43 who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet 44 before God and all the people; 24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over 45 to be condemned to death, and crucified 46 him. 24:21 But we had hoped 47 that he was the one who was going to redeem 48 Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened. 24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. 49 They 50 were at the tomb early this morning, 24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, 51 who said he was alive. 24:24 Then 52 some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” 53 24:25 So 54 he said to them, “You 55 foolish people 56 – how slow of heart 57 to believe 58 all that the prophets have spoken! 24:26 Wasn’t 59 it necessary 60 for the Christ 61 to suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 24:27 Then 62 beginning with Moses and all the prophets, 63 he interpreted to them the things written about 64 himself in all the scriptures.
24:28 So they approached the village where they were going. He acted as though he wanted to go farther, 65 24:29 but they urged him, 66 “Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So 67 he went in to stay with them.
24:30 When 68 he had taken his place at the table 69 with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, 70 and gave it to them. 24:31 At this point 71 their eyes were opened and they recognized 72 him. 73 Then 74 he vanished out of their sight. 24:32 They 75 said to each other, “Didn’t 76 our hearts 77 burn within us 78 while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining 79 the scriptures to us?” 24:33 So 80 they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. 81 They 82 found the eleven and those with them gathered together 24:34 and 83 saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has appeared to Simon!” 84 24:35 Then they told what had happened on the road, 85 and how they recognized him 86 when he broke the bread.
24:36 While they were saying these things, Jesus 87 himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 88 24:37 But they were startled and terrified, thinking 89 they saw a ghost. 90 24:38 Then 91 he said to them, “Why are you frightened, 92 and why do doubts 93 arise in your hearts? 24:39 Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me! 94 Touch me and see; a ghost 95 does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.” 24:40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 96 24:41 And while they still could not believe it 97 (because of their joy) and were amazed, 98 he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 99 24:42 So 100 they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 24:43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.
24:44 Then 101 he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me 102 in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms 103 must be fulfilled.” 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures, 104 24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ 105 would suffer 106 and would rise from the dead on the third day, 24:47 and repentance 107 for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 108 in his name to all nations, 109 beginning from Jerusalem. 110 24:48 You are witnesses 111 of these things. 24:49 And look, I am sending you 112 what my Father promised. 113 But stay in the city 114 until you have been clothed with power 115 from on high.”
24:50 Then 116 Jesus 117 led them out as far as Bethany, 118 and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 24:51 Now 119 during the blessing 120 he departed 121 and was taken up into heaven. 122 24:52 So 123 they worshiped 124 him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 125 24:53 and were continually in the temple courts 126 blessing 127 God. 128
