And they said unto him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who
was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God, and all the people:
and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be
condemned to death, and crucified him. But we hoped that it was he who
should redeem Israel. Yea, and besides all this, it is now the third
day since these things came to pass. Moreover, certain women of our
company amazed us, having been early at the tomb; and when they found
not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of
angels, who said that he was alive. And certain of them that were with
us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but
him they saw not."
And he said unto them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in
all that the prophets have spoken! Behooved it not the Christ to suffer
these things, and to enter into his glory?"
And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to
them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he
made as though he would go further. And they constrained him, saying,
"Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent."
And he went in to abide with them. And it came to pass, when he had sat
down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it,
he gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
vanished out of their sight.
And they said one to another, "Was not our heart burning within us,
while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?"
And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found
the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, saying, "The
Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." And they rehearsed
the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the
breaking of the bread.
