“And he said to them, ‘O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things
and enter into his glory?’ And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted
to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. So they drew near to
the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther, but 
they urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the
day is now far spent.’

So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread
and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they
recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, ‘Did 
not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened
to us the Scriptures?’ And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And
they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, ‘The
Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!’ Then they told what had happened
on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.”

**–The Gospel according to Luke, chapter 24, verses 25-35, ESV **
