Luke 24:13-35
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Road to Emmaus
13 Now
behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven
miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all
these things which had happened. 15 So it
was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with
them. 16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did
not know Him.

17 And He said to them, “What
kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and
are sad?”

18 Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and
said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which
happened there in these days?”

19 And He said to them, “What
things?”

So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was
a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered
Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.21 But we
were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is
the third day since these things happened. 22 Yes,
and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished
us. 23 When they did not find His body, they came saying
that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 24 And 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.”

25 Then He said to them, “O
foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have
spoken! 26 Ought not the
Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He
expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
The Disciples’ Eyes Opened
28 Then
they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone
farther. 29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us,
for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with
them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to
them.31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and
He vanished from their sight.

32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart
burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to
us?” 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered
together, 34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has
appeared to Simon!” 35 And they told about the
things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the
breaking of bread.
