Luke 24:13-32 That very day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus about seven miles from Jerusalem.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ That very day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus about seven miles from Jerusalem. ¹⁴ They were conversing about all these events, ¹⁵ and during their conversation and discussion Jesus himself approached and walked beside them, ¹⁶ though they were prevented from recognizing him. ¹⁷ He said to them, "What is all this you are debating on your walk?" They stopped, looking downcast, ¹⁸ and one of them, called Cleopas, answered him, "Are you a lone stranger in Jerusalem, not to know what has been happening there?" ¹⁹ "What is that?" he said to them. They replied, "All about Jesus of Nazaret! To God and all the people he was a prophet strong in action and utterance, ²⁰ but the high priests and our rulers delivered him up to be sentenced to death and crucified him. ²¹ Our own hope was that he would be the redeemer of Israel; but he is dead, and that is three days ago! ²² Though some women of our number gave us a surprise; they were at the tomb early in the morning ²³ and could not find his body, but they came to tell us they had actually seen a vision of angels who declared he was alive. ²⁴ Some of our company did go to the tomb and found things exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him." ²⁵ He said to them, "O foolish men, with hearts so slow to believe, after all the prophets have declared! ²⁶ Had not the Christ to suffer thus and so enter his glory?" ²⁷ Then he began with Moses and all the prophets and interpreted to them the passages referring to himself throughout the scriptures. ²⁸ Now they approached the village to which they were going. He pretended to be going further on, ²⁹ but they pressed him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting towards evening and the day has now declined." So he went in to stay with them. ³⁰ And as he lay at table with them he took the loaf, blessed it, broke it and handed it to them. ³¹ Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. ³² And they said to one another, "Did not our hearts glow within us when he was talking to us on the road, opening up the scriptures for us?"
