That same day two of
them went to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven
miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these
things which had happened. During their conversation and
discussion, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them. . .
And it came to pass, as
he sat at the table with them, he took bread, and blessed it,
and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened,
and they recognized him; ... and they rose up at once, and
returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together,
... And they told what had happened on the road, and how they
had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
-- Luke 24
