New Testament

Luke 24:27-34 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

27. Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.

28. The two men approached the village where they were going. Jesus acted as if he were going farther.

29. But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said, "Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.

30. He joined them at the table. Then he took bread and gave thanks. He broke it and began to give it to them.

31. Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But then he disappeared from their sight.

32. They said to each other, "He talked with us on the road. He opened the Scriptures to us. Weren't our hearts burning inside us during that time?"

33. They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them. They were all gathered together.

34. They were saying, "It's true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!"
