And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus,
which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked
together of all these things which 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 he said unto them, What manner of
communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and
are sad? And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the
things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said
unto 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: 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 which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to
day is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain
women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the
sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that
they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And
certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it
even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. |
