Gospel of the Day – Luke 24:13-35

“And behold, on the same day two of them were going to a village sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, whose name was Emmaus.
And they were talking among themselves about everything that had happened.

And it came to pass, as they were talking among themselves, and asking questions of one another, that Jesus himself approached, and went with them.

But their eyes were as if closed, so that they did not know him. And he said to them: What are these words that you exchange among yourselves as you walk, and why are you sad?

And one, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said unto him, Art thou only a sojourner in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things that have happened there these days?

And he asked them: Which ones? And they said to him: Those concerning 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 princes handed him over to death, and crucified him.

And we hoped that he would be the one who redeemed Israel; but now, above all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

It is true that some women among us also marveled at us, who went to the tomb early in the morning;

And when they did not find his body, they returned, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he lives.

And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it to be just as the women had said; but they did not see him.

And he said to them: O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not fitting for Christ to suffer these things and enter into his glory?

And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them what was found about him in all the Scriptures. And they arrived at the village where they were going, and he acted as if he were going further away.

And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is late, and the day is gone. And he went in to stay with them.

And it came to pass, as he sat with them at table, and took bread, that he blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he disappeared from them.

And they said one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us when He spoke to us on the way, and when He opened the Scriptures to us?

And at the same time they arose and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
Who said, The Lord is truly risen, and has appeared to Simon.

And they told them what had happened to them on the way, and how it was known to them in the breaking of bread“.
