Luke 24:17-41

He askedG2036 themG846, “WhatG5101 are you discussing so intentlyG3778G3588G3056G3739G474G4314G240 as you walk alongG4043?”

They stood stillG2476, with sadness on their facesG4659. 18OneG1520 of them, namedG3686 CleopasG2810, askedG611G2036G4314 HimG846, “Are YouG4771 the onlyG3441 visitorG3939 to JerusalemG2419 who does notG3756 knowG1097 the thingsG3588 that have happenedG1096 there inG1722 recentG3778 daysG2250?”

19“What thingsG4169?” He askedG2036.

“The eventsG3588 involvingG4012 JesusG2424 ofG3588 NazarethG3479,” they answeredG2036. “This manG435 wasG1096 a prophetG4396, powerfulG1415 inG1722 speechG3056 andG2532 actionG2041 beforeG1726 GodG2316 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992. 20Our chief priestsG749 andG2532 rulersG758 delivered Him upG3860G846 toG1519 the sentenceG2917 of deathG2288, andG2532 they crucifiedG4717 HimG846. 21ButG1161 weG1473 were hopingG1679 HeG846 wasG1510 theG3588 One who wouldG3195 redeemG3084 IsraelG2474. AndG2532 besidesG1065 allG3956 this, it isG71 the thirdG5154 dayG2250 sinceG575G3739 these thingsG3778 took placeG1096.

22FurthermoreG235, someG5100 ofG1537 ourG1473 womenG1135 astoundedG1839 usG1473. They wereG1096 atG1909 theG3588 tombG3419 early this morningG3720, 23butG2532 they did not findG3361G2147 HisG846 bodyG4983. They cameG2064 and toldG3004 us they had seenG3708 a visionG3701 of angelsG32, whoG3739 said thatG3004 Jesus was aliveG2198. 24ThenG2532 someG5100 of our companionsG3588G4862G1473 wentG565 toG1909 theG3588 tombG3419 andG2532 foundG2147 it justG3779 asG2531 theG3588 womenG1135 had describedG2036. ButG1161 HimG846 they did not seeG3756G3708.”

25ThenG2532 Jesus saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “OG5599 foolishG453 ones, andG2532 slowG1021 of heartG2588 to believeG4100 allG3956 thatG3739 theG3588 prophetsG4396 have spokenG2980! 26Was it not necessary forG3780G1163 theG3588 ChristG5547 to sufferG3958 these thingsG3778 and thenG2532 to enterG1525G1519 HisG846 gloryG1391?” 27AndG2532 beginningG756 withG575 MosesG3475 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 ProphetsG4396, He explainedG1329 to themG846 whatG3588 was written inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 ScripturesG1124 aboutG4012 HimselfG1438.

28AsG2532 they approachedG1448G1519 theG3588 villageG2968 whereG3757 they were headedG4198, HeG846 seemedG4364 to be goingG4198 fartherG4206. 29ButG2532 they pleaded with HimG3849G846G3004, “StayG3306 withG3326 usG1473, forG3754 it isG1510 nearlyG4314 eveningG2073 andG2532G2235 theG3588 dayG2250 is almost overG2827.”

SoG2532 He went inG1525 to stayG3306 withG4862 themG846. 30WhileG2532G1096G1722 HeG846 was recliningG2625 at the table withG3326 themG846, He tookG2983 breadG740, spoke a blessingG2127 andG2532 brokeG2806 it, and gaveG1929 it to themG846. 31ThenG1161 theirG846 eyesG3788 were openedG1272 andG2532 they recognizedG1921 Jesus—andG2532 HeG846 disappearedG1096G855 fromG575 their sight.

They askedG2036 each otherG240, “WereG1510 notG3780 ourG1473 heartsG2588 burningG2545 withinG1722 usG1473 asG5613 He spokeG2980 with usG1473 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598 and openedG1272 theG3588 ScripturesG1124 to usG1473?” 33AndG2532 they got upG450 that veryG846 hourG5610 and returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.

There they foundG2147 theG3588 ElevenG1733 andG2532 thoseG3588 withG4862 themG846, gathered togetherG4867 34and sayingG3004, “TheG3588 LordG2962 has indeed risenG3689G1453 andG2532 has appearedG3708 to SimonG4613!”

35ThenG2532 the two toldG1834 what had happenedG3588 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598, andG2532 howG5613 theyG846 had recognizedG1097 Jesus inG1722 theG3588 breakingG2800 of theG3588 breadG740.

36WhileG1161 theyG846 were describingG2980 theseG3778 events, Jesus HimselfG846 stoodG2476 amongG1722G3319 themG846 andG2532 saidG3004G846, “PeaceG1515 be with youG4771.” 37ButG1161 they were startledG4422 andG2532 frightenedG1096G1719, thinkingG1380 they had seenG2334 a spiritG4151.

38“WhyG5101 are youG1510 troubledG5015,” Jesus askedG2036G846, “andG2532 whyG1223G5101 do doubtsG1261 ariseG305 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG2588? 39Look atG3708 MyG1473 handsG5495 andG2532 MyG1473 feetG4228. It isG1510 IG1473 MyselfG846. TouchG5584 MeG1473 andG2532 seeG3708—forG3754 a spiritG4151 does notG3756 haveG2192 fleshG4561 andG2532 bonesG3747, asG2531 you seeG2334 IG1473 haveG2192.” 40AndG2532 when He had saidG2036 thisG3778, He showedG1166 themG846 His handsG5495 andG2532 feetG4228.

41WhileG1161 theyG846 were still in disbeliefG2089G569 because ofG575 their joyG5479 andG2532 amazementG2296, He askedG2036 themG846, “Do you haveG2192 anythingG5100 hereG1759 to eatG1034?”
