They left the sepulchre and told all these things to the eleven, and to
all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene; Joanna; Mary, the mother of James;
and other women that were with them who told these things to the
apostles. Their words seemed like idle tales and they did not believe
them.
Then Peter arose and ran to the sepulchre. Stooping down, he saw the
linen clothes laid by themselves and he left, wondering about what
could have happened.
That same day two of them went to a village called Emmaus, which was a
few miles from Jerusalem. They talked over the things that had
happened. And, while they were talking, Jesus drew near and walked with
them. But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. Jesus said to
them, What were you discussing as you walked along that made you look
so sad? One of them, whose name was Cleopas, said to Him, Are you a
stranger in Jerusalem and do not know the things that have come to pass
these days? He said to them, What things?
They said, About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed
and word before God and all the people, and how the chief priests and
our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death and crucified Him. We
trusted that He would redeem Israel and, besides all this, today is the
third day after these things were done. Some of the women of our group
astonished us.
