Chapter 15—Jesus at Emmaus On this same day Jesus met several of his disciples, and greeted them with “All hail,” upon which they approached him and held him by the feet and worshiped him. He permitted this homage, for he had then ascended to his Father, and had received his approval, and the worship of the holy angels. Late in the afternoon of the same day, two of the disciples were on their way to Emmaus, eight miles from Jerusalem. They had come to the city to keep the passover, and the news of the morning in regard to the removal of the body of Jesus from the sepulcher had greatly perplexed them. This perplexity had been increased by the reports of the women concerning the heavenly messengers, and the appearance of Jesus himself. They were now returning to their home to meditate and pray, in hope of gaining some light in reference to these matters which so confused their understanding. {3SP 206.1}

Den samme dag traf Jesus flere af sine disciple og sagde til dem: "Vær hilset!", hvorpå de trådte til og omfavnede hans fødder og tilbad ham. Han tillod, at de tilbad ham; thi han havde nu været hos sin Fader. Faderen havde erklæret, at han havde behag i ham, og englene havde tilbedt ham. Sent om eftermiddagen samme dag gik to af hans disciple på vejen til Emanus, der lå omtrent tretten kilometer fra Jerusalem. De kom til staden for at fejre påskefesten, og de nyheder, som de om morgnen fik at høre, nemlig, at Jesu legeme var borte fra graven, havde gjort dem meget rådvilde. Da de så senere fik at høre kvindernes beretning om de himmelske sendebud og om, at Jesus havde vist sig, vidste de næppe, hvad de skulle tro. De var nu på vejen tilbage til deres hjem for nøjere at overveje det, som var sket, og bede i håb (207) om der ved at få oplysning angående disse ting, som de ikke kunne forstå.
