On the road to Emmaus
That afternoon two disciples walking to Emmaus were joined by a stranger who explained from the Scriptures why the Christ had to suffer. When he broke bread with them they recognized Jesus, and he vanished.
They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”
Luke 24:32 (World English Bible)
Beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained the things about himself in all the Scriptures (Luke 24:27). The two hurried back to Jerusalem that same night and found the eleven saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” (Luke 24:34).
