After Jesus had been crucified, two of his disciples were on their way to a village
called Emmaus. They were feeling sad and talking together about all that had happened
and how some women had seen a vision of angels who declared that Jesus was
alive. Then as they were talking Jesus came and walked by their side and talked to
them about the scriptures; but something prevented them from recognising him.
As evening approached, the disciples begged Jesus to stay with them for
supper. It was when Jesus took the bread, blessed it and broke it and
gave it to them that their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but
then he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Did not
our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained
the scriptures to us?” Filled with joy, they set out immediately and
returned to their friends to tell them all that had happened and how
they had recognised Jesus at the breaking of the bread.
