12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were
walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but
they did not believe them.

13 Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus,
about seven milesF205 from Jerusalem, 14 and talking with each
other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking
and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, 16 but their
eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, "What are
you discussing with each other while you walk along?" They stood still,
looking sad.F206 18 Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas,
answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know
the things that have taken place there in these days?" 19 He asked them,
"What things?" They replied, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth,F207
who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
20 and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned
to death and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to
redeem Israel.F208 Yes, and besides all this, it is now the
third day since these things took place. 22 Moreover, some women of our
group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, 23 and when
they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they
had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. 24 Some
of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women
had said; but they did not see him." 25 Then he said to them, "Oh, how
foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets
have declared! 26 Was it not necessary that the MessiahF209
should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?" 27 Then beginning
with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about
himself in all the scriptures. 28 As they came near the village to which
they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged
him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the
day is now nearly over." So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was
at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it
to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he
vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, "Were not our hearts
burning within usF210 while he was talking to us on the road,
while he was opening the scriptures to us?" 33 That same hour they got
up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions
gathered together. 34 They were saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and
he has appeared to Simon!" 35 Then they told what had happened on the road,
and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
