They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over." He went in to stay with them.

It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

They said one to another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?"

Rising rose up that very hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
