Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen
wrappings lying by themselves; and he went away, marveling to himself at
what had happened.
13 Now behold, that same day two of them were going to a
village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they
were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15
While they talked and discussed, Jesus himself drew near and went with
them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said
to them, "What is this conversation which you are exchanging with each
other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of
them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to
Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these
days?" 19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him,
"The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how the chief
priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and
crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to
redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all this
happened. 22 In addition, some women of our company amazed us. They
were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and when they did not find his
body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who
said he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb,
and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see." 25

scriptures.
28 As they drew near the village to which they were going, he
acted as though he would be going farther, 29 but they constrained him,
saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far
spent." So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with
them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then
their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished from
their sight. 32 And they said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn
within us while he talked with us on the road, while he opened to us the
scriptures?" 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem,
and they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered
together, 34 saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to
Simon!" 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he
was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36 As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them
