Luke 24:32

God's wordJoy

30 While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—and He disappeared from their sight.

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together

34 and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”
