Luke 24:16-31

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.

²²Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

²³but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

²⁴Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

²⁵Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁶Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

²⁷And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

²⁸As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

²⁹But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

³⁰While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

³¹Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus — and He disappeared from their sight.
