The Road to Emmaus

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together about all the things that had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus Himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know Him. And Jesus said unto them, What manner of communications are these that you have one to another, as you walk, and are sad?

And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto Him, are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the things that have come to pass there in these days? And He said unto them, What things? And they said unto Him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him. But we trusted that it had been He who should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done. Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, who were early at the sepulchre; And when they could not find His body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that Jesus was alive. And certain of them who were with us went to the sepulchre and found it even so as the women had said: but Jesus they saw not. Luke 24 vs 13-24.
