the road to Emmaus page 3 by ric gustafson
As they walked, Cleopas and his friend listened as the stranger explained many things to them. Beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he told them things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.
The stranger noticed they were approaching the village. " I'm traveling farther down the road".
Cleopas's friend spoke up. " Stay with us for it is getting toward evening and the day is now nearly over".
The stranger agreed. He entered their house. They reclined at a table. The stranger took bread, blessed it and then broke it. He handed them pieces of it.
Cleopas's eyes and the eyes of his friend were suddenly opened. At that moment, they recognized the stranger as Jesus. Just as suddenly, Jesus vanished from their sight.
Cleopas and his friend that night returned to Jerusalem. They told many people that night that they had seen the Lord.
