And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which
                            was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus. And they talked together of all these things
                            which had happened. And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves,
                            Jesus Himself also drawing near, went with them. But their eyes were held, that they should not
know Him.

                            And He said to them: "What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and
                                are sad?" And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to Him: "Art Thou only a
                                stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?" To
whom He said: "What things?"

                            And they said: "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before

not."

                    Then He said to them: "O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets
                        have spoken. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into His glory?" And
                        beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures, the things
that were concerning Him.

                                And they drew nigh to the town, whither they were going, and He made as though He would go farther.
                            But they constrained Him, saying: "Stay with us, because it is towards evening, and the day is now
far spent." And He went in with them.

And it came to pass, whilst He was at table with them, He took bread, and blessed, and brake, and
gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him. And He vanished out of their sight.
And they said one to the other: "Was not our heart
