Luke 24:25-34

25Jesus then said to them, ‘How silly you are! You are very slow to believe everything that God's prophets said long ago.

26You should have known that the Messiah had to die. Only then would he return to heaven and show how great and powerful he is.’

27Jesus then began to explain to them what Moses and all God's prophets had taught. He showed them what they wrote in the Bible about himself.

28Then they came near to the village that the disciples were going to. It seemed that Jesus would continue his journey.

29But they wanted him to stop there. They said to him, ‘Please stay in our home with us. It is getting late, and it will soon be night.’ So Jesus went into their house to stay with them.

30He sat down to eat with them. He took the bread and he thanked God for it. He broke it into pieces and he gave some to them.

31Their eyes became clear and they recognized him. But then he disappeared, and they could no longer see him.

32They said to each other, ‘When he talked to us, it was like a fire that was burning inside us. We felt it while we were walking along the road. We also felt it when he was explaining God's message in the Bible.’

33Immediately they got up and they returned to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 apostles and other people who were with them.

34The people there told the two disciples, ‘It is true! The Lord Jesus is alive again. He has appeared to Simon!’
