^{14 Ref} And they were talking together about all those things which had taken place.

^{15 Ref} And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

^{16 Ref} But their eyes were not open that they might have knowledge of him.

^{17 Ref} And he said to them, What are you talking about together while you go?

^{18 Ref} Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

^{19 Ref} And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

^{20 Ref} And how the chief priests and our rulers gave him up to be put to death on the cross.

^{25 Ref} And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

^{30 Ref} And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

^{31 Ref} And then their eyes were open, and they had knowledge of him, but he went from their view.

^{32 Ref} And they said to one another, Were not our hearts burning in us while he was talking to us on the way, making clear to us the holy Writings?
