The Risen Saviour appears.
Luke 24
Now two of Jesus’s disciples were walking on the road to a village called Emmaus and they were talking about what had happened.
As they walked Jesus came near to them and walked with them. But their eyes were restrained, and they did not know that it was Jesus walking with them.
And Jesus said to them, ” What kind of conversation is this that you are having with one another as you walk and are so sad.”
Then one of the disciples (Cleopas) answered and to Him. “Are you a stranger in Jerusalem, do you not know the things that have happened there over the past days.”
And Jesus said to them, “What things?”
They said, ” the things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and the people.”
“And how the chief priest and the rulers condemned Him to death and crucified Him.” We were hoping that He would be the one to redeem Israel.”
“Also, today is the third day since these things happened. Yes, and some of the women went to the tomb, and did not find his body. They told us that they had seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.”
“Then some of us went to the tomb and found it empty just as the women had said. But we did not see Him.”
Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His “glory?”
Then Jesus taught them and explained to them from the Scriptures all the things that would happen to Him.
Then as they came near to the village where they were going, that Jesus told them that He was going on further.
But they asked Jesus to stay with them, as it was getting late in the evening. They said, “Abide with us, it is late in the evening, and the day is now over.”
And Jesus went in and stayed with them.
