Luke 24:13-26

¹³It happened that very day that two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem,

¹⁴talking together, as they went, about all that had just taken place.

¹⁵While they were talking about these things and discussing them, Jesus himself came up and went on their way with them;

¹⁶but their eyes were blinded so that they could not recognize him.

¹⁷“What is this that you are saying to each other as you walk along?” Jesus asked. They stopped, with sad looks on their faces,

¹⁸and then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Jesus, “Are you staying by yourself at Jerusalem, that you have not heard of the things that have happened there within the last few days?”

¹⁹“What things do you mean?” asked Jesus. “Why, about Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered, “who, in the eyes of God and all the people, was a prophet, whose power was felt in both his words and actions;

²⁰and how the chief priests and our leading men gave him up to be sentenced to death, and afterward crucified him.

²¹But we were hoping that he was the Destined Deliverer of Israel; yes, and besides all this, it is now three days since these things occurred.

²²And what is more, some of the women among us have greatly astonished us. They went to the tomb at daybreak

²³And, not finding the body of Jesus there, came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he was alive.

²⁴So some of our number went to the tomb and found everything just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

²⁵Then Jesus said to them, “Foolish men, slow to accept all that the prophets have said!

²⁶Was not the Christ bound to undergo this suffering before entering into his glory?”
