(13) And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs (14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened. (15) And it came to pass, that, while they com­ muned together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. (16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. (17) And he said unto them, what manner of communications are these that y e .have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad. (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? (19) And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a proph­ et mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: (20) And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to Be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

(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. (25) Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: (26) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? (27) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he ex­ pounded unto them in all the scrip­ tures the things concerning himself. (28) And they drew nigh unto the vil­ lage, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone fur­ ther. (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. (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. (31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
