Two of the dyscyples of Ie¦sus wēte that same daye to a castel which was frō Ie∣salē about thre score forlōges / called Emaus / and they talked togyther of al these thynges that had happened And it chaunsed / as they cōmoned to¦gyther and reasoned / that Ies{us} hym¦selfe drewe nere / & wēte with thē but theyr eyes were holden that they coulde not knowe hym and he sayd vnto thē. Uvhat maner of commu¦nycacyons are these that ye haue one to another as ye walke and are sadde. And the one of them named Cleophas answered and sayde vnto hym: art thou onely astraunger in ierusalē / and hast nat knowen the thynges which haue chaūsed there ī these dayes to whome he sayde what thynges / and they sayd vn¦to hym of Iesus of Nazareth whiche was a prophe∣te / myghty ī dede & worde before god and all the peo¦ple. And howe the hye preestes and our rulers dely∣uered hym to be condēp••••ed to deth and haue crucy∣fyed hym / but we trusted that it shulde haue ben he that shulde haue delyuered israel And as tou∣chynge all these thynges / to day is euen the thyrd

daye / that they were done / ye & certeyne womē al∣so of our company made vs astonyed / whiche came erely vnto the Sepulcre and founde nat his body / and came sayeng that they had sene a visyon of an∣gels / whiche sayd that he was alyue / and certeyne of them whiche were with vs went theyr waye to the Sepulcre / and founde it euen so as the women had sayde but him they sawe nat. And he sayde vnto thē O foles and siowe of herte to byleue al that the pro¦phetes haue spoken / ought nat christ to haue suffred these thynges and to entre in to his glori. And he be¦gan at Moyses and at al the prophetes and inter∣preted vnto them in al scryptures whiche were writ¦ten of him and they drewe nye vnto the castel which they went to and he made as though he wolde haue gone further / but they constraned hym sayeng / abi∣de with vs for it draweth towardes nyght and the day is far passed / and he wēt in. To tary with thē / & it came to passe as he sate at meate with them he to∣ke breade / blyssed it / brake and gaue to theym and theyr eyes were opened / & they knewe hym / and he vanysshed out of theyr syght / & they sayde bytwene them selues / dyd nat oure hertes burne within vs / whyle he talked with vs by the waye / and as he ope∣ned to vs the scriptures. And they arose vp the same hour and retorned agayne to Ierusalem / and foun∣de the eleuē gathered togyther and them that were with them / whiche sayd the lorde is rysen ī dede / & hathe appered to. Simon and they tolde what thyn¦ges was done in the waye / and how they knowe hī in brekynge of brede.
