Jesus joined two disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, about seven miles, and explained to them the prophecies of the Old Testament that were fulfilled in his death and resurrection. The disciples did not recognize Jesus until he broke bread with them at their destination, where they invited him to stay for dinner.
