^{14 Ref} And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

^{15 Ref} And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

^{16 Ref} But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

^{17 Ref} And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

^{18 Ref} And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

^{19 Ref} And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

^{20 Ref} And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

^{21 Ref} But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

^{22 Ref} Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

²³ And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

^{24 Ref} And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

^{25 Ref} Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

^{26 Ref} Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

^{27 Ref} And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

^{28 Ref} And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

^{29 Ref} But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

^{30 Ref} And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

^{31 Ref} And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

^{32 Ref} And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

^{33 Ref} And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

^{34 Ref} Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

^{35 Ref} And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

^{36 Ref} And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

^{37 Ref} But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

^{38 Ref} And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

^{39 Ref} Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

^{41 Ref} And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

^{43 Ref} And he took it, and did eat before them.

^{44 Ref} And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

^{45 Ref} Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

^{46 Ref} And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

^{47 Ref} And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

^{48 Ref} And ye are witnesses of these things.

^{49 Ref} And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

^{50 Ref} And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

^{51 Ref} And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

^{52 Ref} And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

^{53 Ref} And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
