Luke 24:15

They that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord harkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

It came to pass that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.—Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.—My fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

A night in Spring . . . and two men walking the Emmaus road—saddened by their master ’s death—bowed down beneath their load, when suddenly Another overtakes them as they walk.

A Stranger falls in step with them, and earnestly they talk—of what is in their hearts—moved by a warm soul-stirring glow—and when they reach Emmaus, they are loath to let Him go; and so they bid Him stay awhile and share their simple board.
