17 And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?
and He said to them, “What [are] these words that you exchange with one another, walking, and you are sad?”
18 And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?
And one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to Him, “Are You alone visiting Jerusalem and have not known the things having come to pass in it in these days?”
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man—a prophet—powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

23 and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.
and having not found His body, they came, saying to have also seen an apparition of messengers who say He is alive,
24 And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.
and certain of those with us went away to the tomb, and found [it] so, even as the women said, and they did not see Him.”
25 And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

32 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us?
And they said to one another, “Was our heart not burning within us as He was speaking to us in the way, and as He was opening the Writings up to us?”

38 And he said to them, Why are ye troubled? and why are thoughts rising in your hearts?
And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do reasonings come up in your hearts?
39 behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as ye see me having.
See My hands and My feet, that I am He; handle Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see Me having.”
40 And having said this he shewed them his hands and his feet.
And having said this, He showed the hands and the feet to them,
41 But while they yet did not believe for joy, and were wondering, he said to them, Have ye anything here to eat?

42 And they gave him part of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb;

44 And he said to them, These [are] the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses and prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.
and He said to them, “These [are] the words that I spoke to you, being yet with you, that it is necessary to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about Me.”
45 Then he opened their understanding to understand the scriptures,

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
and you are witnesses of these things.

51 And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.

53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.
and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
