LUKE 24:13-53
24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, 
which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, 
Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye 
have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
24:18 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?
24:19 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:
24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to 
death, and have crucified him.
24:21 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.
24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were 
early at the sepulchre;
24:23 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.
24:24 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.
24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that 
the prophets have spoken:
24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his 
glory?
24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in 
all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as 
though he would have gone further.
24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward 
evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and 
blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of 
their sight.
24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he 
talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the 
eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of 
them in breaking of bread.
24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and 
saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a 
spirit.
24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in 
your hearts?
24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for 
a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, 
Have ye here any meat?
24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while 
I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in 
the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the 
scriptures,
24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to 
suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name 
among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in 
the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and 
blessed them.
24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and 
carried up into heaven.
24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
