That same day two of them went to a village called Emmaus, which was a
few miles from Jerusalem. They talked over the things that had
happened. And, while they were talking, Jesus drew near and walked
with them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. Jesus
said to them, What were you discussing as you walked along that made
you look so sad? One of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Him, Are
you a stranger in Jerusalem and do not know the things that have come
to pass these days? He said to them, What things?
They said, About 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 crucified Him.
We trusted that He would redeem Israel and, besides all this, today is
the third day after these things were done. Some of the women of our
group astonished us. They went early to the sepulchre and, when they
did not find His body, they came back and said they had also seen a
vision of angels who said that He was alive. Then some of those who
were with us went to the sepulchre and found it was as the women said,
but they did not see Him.
Then He said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken.
