The same day two disciples were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking about all that had happened. As they discussed and debated, Jesus came up and fell into step with them. But they were kept from recognizing him. “What are you discussing as you walk along?” he asked them. They stopped, their faces sad. One of them, called Cleopas, replied, “Are you just visiting Jerusalem? You must be the only person who doesn't know the things that have happened in the past few days.” “What things?” Jesus asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet who spoke powerfully and performed great miracles before God and all the people. But our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him. We had hoped he was the one who was going to rescue Israel. It's been three days now since all this happened. But then some of the women in our group surprised us. At dawn they went to the tomb and they didn't find his body. They came back saying that they'd seen a vision of angels who told them he's alive. Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women said—but they didn't see him.” Jesus told them, “You're so dull! How slow you are to trust in all that the prophets said! Didn't the Messiah have to suffer before he could enter into his glory?”
