And lo! two from among them, on the selfsame day, were journeying unto a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which, was Emmaus;

and, they, were conversing one with another, about all these things which had occurred.

And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them;

but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him.

And he said unto them - What are these things which ye are debating one with another, as ye walk along? And they came to a stand, sad in countenance.

But one, by name Cleopas, answering, said unto him - Art, thou, lodging, alone, in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things which have come to pass therein in these days?

And he said unto them - What things? And, they, said unto him - The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people:

In what way also our High-priests and Rulers delivered him up unto a sentence of death, and crucified him.

We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed, even with all these things, this brings on, the third, day, since these things happened: -

and, not finding his body, came, saying - that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.

And, he, said unto them - O thoughtless ones! and slow in heart to rest your faith upon all things which the prophets have spoken: -

Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory?

And, beginning from Moses, and from all the prophets, he thoroughly explained to them, in all the Scriptures, the things concerning himself.

And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further.

And they constrained him, saying - Abide with us; because it is, towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them.

And it came to pass, when he reclined with them, taking the loaf, he blessed, and, breaking it, went on to give unto them.

And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them.

And they said one to another - Was not, our heart, burning, as he was speaking to us in the way, as he was opening to us the Scriptures?

And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, - and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,

saying - In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon!
