the road to Emmaus page 3 by ric gustafson
Cleopas and his friend listened as Jesus explained many things to them. Beginning with Moses and the prophets, he told them things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.
Jesus looked up to see that 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 nearly over".
Jesus agreed. He entered their house. They reclined at a table. Jesus took bread, blessed it and then broke it. He handed them pieces of the bread.
Cleopas's eyes and the eyes of his friend opened. At that moment, they recognized the stranger as Jesus.
Just as suddenly, Jesus vanished from their sight.
That very night, the two men returned to Jerusalem. They told the others that they had seen the Lord.
