Luke 24:17-30

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?”

²⁷Then, beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all through the scriptures the passages that referred to himself.

²⁸When they got near the village to which they were walking, Jesus appeared to be going further;

²⁹but they pressed him not to do so. “Stay with us,” they said, “for it is getting towards evening, and the sun in already low.” So Jesus went in to stay with them.

³⁰After he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread and said the blessing, and broke it, and gave it to them.
