Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Two friends on a roadIt was Sunday, and two friends of Jesus walked from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, about seven miles away. They were sad, because three days before, Jesus had died. A traveler came up and walked beside them, but they did not know who he was. He asked what they were talking about. One friend, Cleopas, told him all that had happened. The traveler opened the scrolls and showed them what they said about himself. When they came to Emmaus it was nearly evening, so they begged him to stay. At the table he took the bread, thanked God for it, broke it and gave each of them a piece. Then their eyes were opened, and they knew him! They ran back to Jerusalem to tell the others.
