se discourses that ye interchange among you, as ye are walking, and
bear such a face of dejection? (18)Then one of them, named Cleopas,
answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not
known the singular events of those days? (19)And he said to them, Of
what sort? and they said to him, Those which relate to Jesus the
Nazarean, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God
and all the people: (20)and how our chief priests and rulers delivered
him up to a sentence of death, and crucified him. (21)But we had
entertained hopes that this was the person who should have redeemed
Israel: and ah! besides all these things, to-day concludes that third
day since these things were done. (22)And indeed, certain women
belonging to us exceedingly amazed us who were very early at the
sepulchre; (23)and not finding his body, came, saying, that they had
also seen a vision of angels, who told them that he was alive. (24)And
some of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found every
thing just as the women had said: but him they did not see. (25)And he
said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken! (26)Ought not the Messiah to
suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? (27)And beginning
from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the
scriptures, the things relating to himself. (28)And they drew nigh to
the village, whither they were going: and he was proceeding on, as if
going farther. (29)And they warmly pressed him, saying, Stay with us:
for the evening draws on, and the day declines. And he went in to stay
with them. (30)And it came to pass, when he was sitting down at table
with them, taking up a loaf, he blessed it, and breaking, distributed
it to them. (31)Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
became invisible to them. (32)And they said to each other, Did not our
hearts burn within us, as he talked with us on the road, and as he
distinctly opened to us the scriptures? (33)And rising up the same
hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who
were with them crowded together, (34)saying, The Lord is risen
assuredly, and hath appeared to Simon. (35)Then these recounted what
had passed on the road, and how he was known to them by the breaking of
the bread.

(36)While they were relating these things, Jesus himself stood in the
midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be
