On the third day, when two of the apostles were traveling to Emmaus, Jesus drew near and went with them. They did not know Jesus so he asked about the thing happed and said they were “slow of heart to believe in all that prophets have spoken”. As they stayed and were sitting at the table Jesus gave them bread to open their eyes so the two men saw Jesus, and then Jesus disappeared again. The two apostles returned and told these things to people, and Jesus stood in the midst of them and said, “Peace to you”.
