     That same day two of Jesus' followers were going to a village about 11 kilometers from Jerusalem. As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. But they did not know who he was. Jesus asked them, "What were you talking about as you walked along?" The two of them stood there looking sad. Then the one named Cleopas asked Jesus, "Are you the only person from Jerusalem who did not know what was happening there these last few days?" "What do you mean?" Jesus asked. They answered: "Those things that happened to Jesus (Al-Masih). By what he did and said he showed that he was a powerful prophet, who pleased God and all the people. Then the chief priests and our leaders had him arrested and sentenced to die on a cross. We had hoped that he would be the one to set his people free! But has already been three days since this happened.

      Some women in our group surprised us. They had gone to the tomb early in the morning, but did not find the body of Jesus. They came back, saying that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive. Some men from our group went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they did not see Jesus either."
Then Jesus asked the two followers, "Why can you not understand? How can you be so slow to believe all that the prophets said? Did you not know that the Messiah (Al-Masih) would have to suffer before he was given his glory?" Jesus then explained everything written by himself in the Scriptures, beginning with the Law of Moses (Taurat) and the Books of the Prophets. When the two of them came near the village where they were going, Jesus seemed to be going farther. They begged him, "Stay with us! It is already late, and the sun is going down." So Jesus went into the house to stay with them.

      After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave it to them. At once they knew who he was, but he disappeared. They said to each other, "When he talked with us along the road and explained the Scriptures to us, did it not warm our hearts?" So they got right up and returned to Jerusalem. The two followers of Jesus found the eleven apostles. And they learned from the group that Jesus was really alive and had appeared to Peter. Then the followers told what happened on the road and how they knew he was Jesus when he broke the bread. [Injil-Luke 24:13-35]
