And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? And the one of them, whose, name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things?
Later in the evening appeared Cleopas, who had come with another from Emmaus, and they returned quickly, saying: 'The Lord has indeed risen! And they discussed with closed doors, out of fear of the Jews. Meanwhile He stood among them, though the doors had made no sound, and when they feared, He said, 'Peace be with you!
Finally Cleopas, the older of the two remarked, "They haven't taken the sign down yet." "Do you think others will be crucified on his cross, Cleopas?" asked the other. "Perhaps." After a long silence, Cleopas added: "Do you remember the centurion who was in charge of the soldiers? Just after Jesus died, I heard him say, 'This man truly was a son of God!"
The proprietor of the stage line between Bungfield and Cleopas Valley traded horses with Joe, and was afterward heard mentioning his new property in language far more scriptural than proper. Still, Joe was a church-member, and that was a patent of respectability.
They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots." So the soldiers therefore did these things. Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
He broke the bread and handed it to the men. They took it from him and suddenly they knew who he was. There was only one who had ever given them bread like that! It must be the Master himself! They dropped to their knees. Joy, reverence, and fear filled them. When they looked up, Jesus was gone. "No wonder our hearts burned within us while he talked to us on the road!" exclaimed Cleopas.
"Do you think any of the others believed?" mused the other man. "Most of them scoffed!" answered Cleopas bitterly. "One priest said over and over, 'You saved others now save yourself! and laughed." Tears of anger sprang into Cleopas' eyes. "That is where his mother stood when he told John to take care of her," remarked his companion.
Then Jesus told them the same things that He had been explaining to Cleopas and his friend, and He said to them That is the great missionary text. A missionary means, you remember, 'one who is sent. That text was meant for you and for me, as well as for the first disciples of Jesus. After these things, the eleven disciples went away to Galilee, and waited for Jesus to meet them there.
Then one of them, named Cleopas, answering said, Art thou the only sojourner at Jerusalem, who hath not known the singular events of those days?
When Cleopas finished, they stirred and sighed. Here was one at least who certainly believed Jesus was alive! The air was heavy in the crowded room. An iron pan filled with burning charcoal stood near the wall. Several broiled fish, left over from supper, lay on the coals. Cleopas and his friend looked at them hungrily. Peter handed pieces to them.
