Luke 24:22-36

²²And what is more, some of the women amongst 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.

³¹Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he disappeared from their sight.

³²“How our hearts glowed,” the disciples said to each other, “while he was talking to us on the road, and when he explained the scriptures to us!”

³³Then they immediately got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and their companions all together,

³⁴who told them that the Master had really risen, and had appeared to Simon.

³⁵So they also related what had happened during their walk, and how they had recognised Jesus at the breaking of the bread.

³⁶While they were still talking about these things, Jesus himself stood amongst them.
