Luke 24:

King JamesVersion

13 And, behold,two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was fromJerusalem about threescore furlongs.

14 And theytalked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it cameto pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drewnear, and went with them.

16 But theireyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he saidunto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another,as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the oneof them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only astranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to passthere in these days?

19 And he saidunto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth,which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20 And how thechief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and havecrucified him.

21 But wetrusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside allthis, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, andcertain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at thesepulchre;

23 And whenthey found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision ofangels, which said that he was alive.

24 And certainof them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as thewomen had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he saidunto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets havespoken:

26 Ought notChrist to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 Andbeginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all thescriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And theydrew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he wouldhave gone further.

29 But theyconstrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the dayis far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30 And it cameto pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake,and gave to them.

31 And theireyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32 And theysaid one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with usby the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33 And theyrose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gatheredtogether, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, TheLord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And theytold what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breakingof bread.
