That very
day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus' disciples were going to a village
seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all
the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing
and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were
prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, "What are you discussing as
you walk along?" They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named
Cleopas, said to him in reply, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who
does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?" And
he replied to them, "What sort of things?" They said to him, "The
things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed
and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both
handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping
that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the
third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have
astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his
Body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who
announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and
found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see." And
he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer
these things and enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all
the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the
Scriptures. As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave
the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, "Stay
with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over." So he went
in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he
took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their
eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then
they said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he
spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?" So they set out
at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the Eleven
and those with them who were saying, "The Lord has truly been raised and
has appeared to Simon!" Then the two recounted what had taken place on the
way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Pamalandong:
Sa ila pagbagtas
pasingud sa Emmaus, waya magpalandong an duha ka mga disciple ni Jesus na
makasabay nila sa dayan si Lord na sa una waya pa anay nila hikilay’i kay modugyumay
na man seguro.
Pero sa ila
pagpangaon nan panihapon, didto na nila hikilay’i si Jesus sa Ija pag-bless nan
pagkaon na ila tangaon.
Unabes,
namalik dajon sila sa Jerusalem para ibalita sa Eleven sanan sa ila mga
kaibanan na tinood gajud na nabanhaw si Lord sanan nagpakita dila segun sa ila
inka-saksihan kay tagpakita man ni Jesus dila an Ija presensiya pinaagi sa
breaking of the bread.
Mahitandi
nato an dayan patunong sa Emmaus sa ato mga kaugalingon na mga kinabuhi sa ato pagpalajo
kan Jesus sa mga Christian life kay hamimis ‘kaw ‘ton na siyete milyas man ini
kalajo gikan sa Jerusalem na sentro unta nan ato pagtuo.
Pero,
bisan nagpanaw kita palajo kan Christ, nakig-iban pa man gihapon Sija dato sa
ato pagbagtas bisan waya nato Sija hikilay’i samtang naghinabi kita.
Nangalimbasog
ba kaha kita kuman na makilaya nato pagdajaw si Jesus sa ato adlaw-adlaw na mga
kinabuhi?
