- According to Luke 24:13-27, the risen Jesus appeared to two disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, which is described as being 60 stadia from Jerusalem (10.4 to 12 km depending on what definition of stadia is in use). One of the disciples is named as Cleopas in verse 18, while his companion remains unnamed. A similar event is mentioned in the longer ending of Mark, but this is believed to be a late addition derived from the gospel of Luke and the incident is not mentioned in the gospels of Matthew and John.

| - According to Luke 24:13-27, the risen Jesus appeared to two disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, which is described as being 60 stadia from Jerusalem (10.4 to 12 km depending on what definition of stadia is in use). One of the disciples is named as Cleopas in verse 18, while his companion remains unnamed. Luke places the story on the evening of the day of Jesus' resurrection. The two disciples have heard the tomb of Jesus was found empty earlier that day. They are discussing the events of the past few days when a stranger asks them what they are discussing. "Their eyes were kept from recognizing him." He soon rebukes them for their unbelief and gives them a Bible study on prophecies about the Messiah. On reaching Emmaus, they ask the stranger to join them for the evening meal. When he breaks the bread "their eyes were opened" and they recognize him as the resurrected Jesus. Jesus immediately vanishes. Cleopas and his friend then hasten back to Jerusalem to carry the news to the other disciples, and arrive in time to proclaim to the eleven who were gathered together with others that Jesus truly is alive. While describing the events, Jesus appeared again to all who were there, giving them a commission to evangelize. Then he took them out as far as Bethany and blessed them before ascending back into heaven. A similar event is mentioned in the longer ending of Mark, but this is believed to be a late addition derived from the gospel of Luke and the incident is not mentioned in the gospels of Matthew and John.
