Luke 24:28-35

Living Bible

²⁸ By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus would have gone on, ²⁹ but they begged him to stay the night with them, as it was getting late. So he went home with them. ³⁰ As they sat down to eat, he asked God’s blessing on the food and then took a small loaf of bread and broke it and was passing it over to them, ³¹ when suddenly—it was as though their eyes were opened—they recognized him! And at that moment he disappeared!

³² They began telling each other how their hearts had felt strangely warm as he talked with them and explained the Scriptures during the walk down the road. ^33-34 Within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem, where the eleven disciples and the other followers of Jesus greeted them with these words, “The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter!”

³⁵ Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread.
