Luke 24:11-21

11 But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.

12 Peter, however, rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw nothing but the linen cloths: so he went away to his own home, wondering at what had happened.

13 On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,

14 and were conversing about all these recent events;

15 and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them,

16 though they were prevented from recognizing Him.

17 "What is the subject," He asked them, "on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?" And they stood still, looking full of sorrow.

18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, "Are you a stranger lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing of the things that have lately happened in the city?"

19 "What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene," they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people;

20 and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.

21 But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened.
