Lk 24:13-53

  • Emmaus
    • 7 miles from Jerusalem (11 km, or 25 li)--about 2 hour walk;
    • they were kept from recognizing him
      • by who? what for?
      • their eyes were later opened
    • What things? --Jesus asked them to describe the entire event
      • powerful prophet; redeemer of Isreal
      • crucified
      • empty tomb
    • How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
    • Christ have to suffer and then enter his glory
    • Jesus explain in the scripture all that's concerning him
    • they urged Jesus to stay with them for the evening
    • at the table their eyes were opened the finally recognized Jesus, but then Jesus disappeared;
    • at once they got up and return to Jerusalem to report to the Eleven
  • Jesus appeared to them at their gathering
    • in flesh
    • ate a piece of broiled fish in front of them
    • then he explain again in the scripture what's concerning him
    • he opened their minds so they could understand the scripture
  • Ascension
    • near Bethany
    • while blessing the disciples
    • taken up into heaven
