10. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles,

11. but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

13. That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,

14. and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.

15. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.

18. Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

19. And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

20. and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
