| Luk 24:13 | Pada hari itu juga dua orang dari murid-murid Yesus pergi ke sebuah kampung bernama Emaus, yang terletak kira-kira tujuh mil jauhnya dari Yerusalem, |
| Luk 24:14 | dan mereka bercakap-cakap tentang segala sesuatu yang telah terjadi. |
| Luk 24:15 | Ketika mereka sedang bercakap-cakap dan bertukar pikiran, datanglah Yesus sendiri mendekati mereka, lalu berjalan bersama-sama dengan mereka. |
| Luk 24:16 | Tetapi ada sesuatu yang menghalangi mata mereka, sehingga mereka tidak dapat mengenal Dia. |
| Luk 24:17 | Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Apakah yang kamu percakapkan sementara kamu berjalan?" Maka berhentilah mereka dengan muka muram. |
| Luk 24:18 | Seorang dari mereka, namanya Kleopas, menjawab-Nya: "Adakah Engkau satu-satunya orang asing di Yerusalem, yang tidak tahu apa yang terjadi di situ pada hari-hari belakangan ini?" |
| Luk 24:19 | Kata-Nya kepada mereka: "Apakah itu?" Jawab mereka: "Apa yang terjadi dengan Yesus orang Nazaret. Dia adalah seorang nabi, yang berkuasa dalam pekerjaan dan perkataan di hadapan Allah dan di depan seluruh bangsa kami. |
| Luk 24:20 | Tetapi imam-imam kepala dan pemimpin-pemimpin kami telah menyerahkan Dia untuk dihukum mati dan mereka telah menyalibkan-Nya. |
| Luk 24:21 | Padahal kami dahulu mengharapkan, bahwa Dialah yang datang untuk membebaskan bangsa Israel. Tetapi sementara itu telah lewat tiga hari, sejak semuanya itu terjadi. |
| Luk 24:22 | Tetapi beberapa perempuan dari kalangan kami telah mengejutkan kami: Pagi-pagi buta mereka telah pergi ke kubur, |
| Luk 24:23 | dan tidak menemukan mayat-Nya. Lalu mereka datang dengan berita, bahwa telah kelihatan kepada mereka malaikat-malaikat, yang mengatakan, bahwa Ia hidup. |
| Luk 24:24 | Dan beberapa teman kami telah pergi ke kubur itu dan mendapati, bahwa memang benar yang dikatakan perempuan-perempuan itu, tetapi Dia tidak mereka lihat." |
| Luk 24:25 | Lalu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Hai kamu orang bodoh, betapa lambannya hatimu, sehingga kamu tidak percaya segala sesuatu, yang telah dikatakan para nabi! |
| Luk 24:26 | Bukankah Mesias harus menderita semuanya itu untuk masuk ke dalam kemuliaan-Nya?" |
| Luk 24:27 | Lalu Ia menjelaskan kepada mereka apa yang tertulis tentang Dia dalam seluruh Kitab Suci, mulai dari kitab-kitab Musa dan segala kitab nabi-nabi. |
| Luk 24:28 | Mereka mendekati kampung yang mereka tuju, lalu Ia berbuat seolah-olah hendak meneruskan perjalanan-Nya. |
| Luk 24:29 | Tetapi mereka sangat mendesak-Nya, katanya: "Tinggallah bersama-sama dengan kami, sebab hari telah menjelang malam dan matahari hampir terbenam." Lalu masuklah Ia untuk tinggal bersama-sama dengan mereka. |
| Luk 24:30 | Waktu Ia duduk makan dengan mereka, Ia mengambil roti, mengucap berkat, lalu memecah-mecahkannya dan memberikannya kepada mereka. |
| Luk 24:31 | Ketika itu terbukalah mata mereka dan merekapun mengenal Dia, tetapi Ia lenyap dari tengah-tengah mereka. |
| Luk 24:32 | Kata mereka seorang kepada yang lain: "Bukankah hati kita berkobar-kobar, ketika Ia berbicara dengan kita di tengah jalan dan ketika Ia menerangkan Kitab Suci kepada kita?" |
| Luk 24:33 | Lalu bangunlah mereka dan terus kembali ke Yerusalem. Di situ mereka mendapati kesebelas murid itu. Mereka sedang berkumpul bersama-sama dengan teman-teman mereka. |
| Luk 24:34 | Kata mereka itu: "Sesungguhnya Tuhan telah bangkit dan telah menampakkan diri kepada Simon." |
| Luk 24:35 | Lalu kedua orang itupun menceriterakan apa yang terjadi di tengah jalan dan bagaimana mereka mengenal Dia pada waktu Ia memecah-mecahkan roti. |

ENGLISH
Luke 24:13 On that same day, two of Jesus' disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
Luke 24:15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
Luke 24:16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
Luke 24:17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.
Luke 24:18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
Luke 24:19 "What things?" he asked. "About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.
Luke 24:20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;
Luke 24:21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.
Luke 24:22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning
Luke 24:23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.
Luke 24:24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."
Luke 24:25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
Luke 24:26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"
Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Luke 24:28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.
Luke 24:29 But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
Luke 24:30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.
Luke 24:31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.
Luke 24:32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
Luke 24:33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together
Luke 24:34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."
Luke 24:35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
REFLECTION
The Lord appeared to His disciples on the road to Emmaus. This journey became very significant for the two disciples of the Lord, because Jesus taught them about the Scriptures - how all these things had to happen, His suffering, and His death. Jesus imparted teachings to them, so that they became fervent when taught the Word of God by Jesus.
From this journey, it can also serve as a lesson for us as humans to read the holy scriptures and understand their contents with the help of the Lord Jesus through prayer to Him. For everything is already written in the Bible, even about the teachings of the Lord Jesus Himself on how we as humans should act in this world, how we should behave; there is nothing incomplete in the teachings of the Lord Jesus. Indeed, we can find answers to our problems in the Word of God.
For the Word of God has divine power that can give strength to us. Therefore, the Word of God should be read, understood, and spoken with love to our fellow human beings. So that everyone may receive blessings from the Words of God through us.
PRAYER
O Lord, I desire to read Your Word
Grant me the Spirit of Understanding to read the Scriptures
And comprehend all its contents
As You taught Your disciples on the road to Emmaus
For You are my Lord forever and ever
Amen.
