an Angel who was seated upon the

girieve as though corruptible the
Incorrupt? So go back and
proclaim It to His Disciples!”
This is the Day the Lord made! Let

So Peter arose and ran to the Tomb;
and stooping down, he saw the
linen cloths lying by themselves;
and he departed, marvelling to
himself at what had happened.
behold, two of them were
travelling that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was seven
miles from Jerusalem.
And they discussed together all these
things that had happened.
So it was, while they conversed and
reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew
near and went with them.
But their eyes were restrained, so that
they did not recognise Him.
And He said to them: “What kind of
conversation is this that you have
with one another as you walk and
are sad?”

Cleopas answered and said to Him:
“Art Thou the only Stranger in

the things that have happened there

And He said to them: “What things?”

condemned to death, and crucified
Him.
“But we were hoping that it was He
Who was going to redeem Israel.
“Indeed, besides all this, today is the
third day since these things
happened.
“Yes, and certain Women of our
company, who arrived at the Tomb
early, astonished us. When they did
not find His Body, they came saying
that they had also seen a Vision of
Angels who said He was alive!
“And certain of those who were with us
went to the Tomb and found it just
as the women had said; but Him
they did not see.”
Then He said to them, “O foolish ones,
and slow of heart to believe in all
that the Prophets have spoken!
Ought not the Christ to have
suffered these things and to enter
into His Glory?”
And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, He expounded to them in
all the Scriptures the Things
concerning Himself.
they drew near to the village
where they were going, and He
indicated that He would have gone
further. But they constrained Him,
saying: “Abide with us, for it is
toward evening, and the day is far
spent.”
And He went in to stay with them.
Now it came to pass, as He sat at the
table with them, that He took
bread, Blessed and broke it, and
gave it to them.
Then their eyes were opened and they
recognised Him; and He vanished
