When the disciples of Christ were gathered in a room thinking about the resurrection of Christ, two of them arose to visit Emmaus. When they are on their way going to a village about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened, Jesus, himself drew near and went with them.

But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, what is this conversation which you are holding with each other as you walk?
They stood still looking sad. Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, are the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?

He said to them, what things?
They said to him, concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priest and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hope that he was the one to redeem Israel.

Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since this happened. Moreover, some women in our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body, and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 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 it.

Jesus said to them, you are slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
Was it not necessary that Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?
And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, but they constrained him, saying, stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent. So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them.

Their eyes were open and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, did not our heart burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?
