Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 24:13-21

13That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
15And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them.
16But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.
17He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.
18One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”
19“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.
20Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.
21But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.
— Luke 24:13-21
