Luke 24:13-26

¹³And then that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they were conversing with each other about all that had happened.

¹⁵And then, as they were conversing and discussing, Jesus Himself came up and started going with them.

¹⁶But their eyes were restrained, in order that they not recognize Him.

¹⁷So He said to them, “What words are these that you are exchanging with one another as you walk, and are gloomy?”

¹⁸Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are you the only one living in Jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have happened there in these days?”

¹⁹He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him: “The things concerning Jesus the Natsorean, how the man was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.

²¹And we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel! Further, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

²²Moreover certain women of our group astonished us—arriving early at the tomb,

²³and not finding his body, they came saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.

²⁴And certain 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.”

²⁵Then He said to them: “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the Prophets have spoken!

²⁶Was it really not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”
