<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> Luke 24:13-35 The Walk to Emmaus <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> Now on the same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognising him. And he said to them, ”What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in and stayed with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognised him: and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon! Then they told what had happened to them on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of bread.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> Lk 24:35-43 Jesus Appears to His Disciples <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, “Why are you frightened and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see I have. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, “Have you anything to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.
