Gospel Luke 24- 13-16,28-35
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Luke
24: 13-16,28-35
Now that very day two of them were going to a village
seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus,
and they were conversing about all the things
that had occurred.
And it happened that while they were conversing
and debating, Jesus himself drew near
and walked with them, but their eyes
were prevented from recognizing him.
As they approached the village
to which they were going, he gave the impression
that he was going on farther.
But they urged him, “Stay with us,
for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.”
So he went in to stay with them.
And it happened that, while he was with them at table,
he took bread, said the blessing, broke it,
and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they
recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.
Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts
burning within us while he spoke to us on the way
and opened the scriptures to us?”
So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem
where they found gathered together the eleven
and those with them who were saying,
“The Lord has truly been raised
and has appeared to Simon!”
Then the two recounted what had taken place
on the way and how he was made known to them
in the breaking of the bread.
