29. They begged him, “Stay with us! It's already late, and the sun is going down.” So Jesus went into the house to stay with them.

30. After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave it to them.

31. At once they knew who he was, but he disappeared.

32. They said to each other, “When he talked with us along the road and explained the Scriptures to us, didn't it warm our hearts?”

33. So they got up at once and returned to Jerusalem.The two disciples found the eleven apostles and the others gathered together.

34. And they learnt from the group that the Lord was really alive and had appeared to Peter.

35. Then the disciples from Emmaus told what happened on the road and how they knew he was the Lord when he broke the bread.

36. While Jesus' disciples were talking about what had happened, Jesus appeared and greeted them.

37. They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost.

38. But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt?

39. Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don't have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
