1 THE ROAD TO EMMAUS Stepping into the story
2 EASTER FAITH? Conor Cruise O Brien in Kerry Faith today...and its challenges Centrality of the Risen Lord Imagining the Resurrection Benedict XVI
3 BENEDICT XVI In God is Love, Benedict XVI put it succinctly: Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction (Deus Caritas Est 1).

5 PLAN 1. Read the text and ask questions 2. First observations 3. OT background 4. What kind of writing is this? 5. NT foreground 6. Comment 7. Pointers for prayer 8. Prayer
6 1. READING THE TEXT Luke 24:13 Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, 16 but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, What are you discussing with each other while you walk along? They stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days? 19 He asked them, What things? They replied, The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.
7 1. READING THE TEXT Luke 24: 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. 22 Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, 23 and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him. 25 Then he said to them, Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! 26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory? 27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.
8 1. READING THE TEXT Luke 24:28 As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged him strongly, saying, Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over. So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us? 33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. 34 They were saying, The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon! 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
9 2. FIRST OBSERVATIONS In all four gospels, there are two kinds of stories recounted regarding the resurrection. (i) Resurrection Proclamation stories and (ii) Resurrection Appearance narratives (none in the original Mark, which ended at 16:8). The Resurrection Appearance narratives are unique to each Gospel in which they appear (the apparent exception here is Mark 16:12, but this is not part of the original Gospel text). Finally, each writer uses the tradition both to proclaim the resurrection and to show how we may arrive at Resurrection faith. This is very much the case in Luke 24:13-35.
10 3. OT BACKGROUND Immediately, yes, because there is reference to Moses (= the Pentateuch), the Prophets (meaning both historical books and prophets) and all the Scriptures (possibly meaning the last part of the OT, the writings ). To find out which texts resonated with the early Christians, read Luke-Acts and see which texts are consistently referred to. E.g. Isaiah 53, Psalm 110, Psalm 118 etc. In the programmatic scene in Nazareth, Luke 4:16-30 refers to Isaiah 61:1-2; 48:6 as well as to 1 Kings 17:1, 8-16; 18:1; 2 Kings 5:1-14. Perhaps the story nearest is that of Abraham s hospitality to his three guests, unaware that they are angels (= God really). The Graeco-Roman reader would be familiar with such stories about the gods disguised.
11 4. KIND OF WRITING It is a narrative, that is, a story with a plot Within the biblical tradition, it is a theophany A story unique to Luke (the story of Philip and the Eunuch in Acts mirrors it). Both belong to a type of folktale in which the welcome to the unrecognised stranger turns out to be the decisive event of your life. In the Jewish tradition, there are stories of Elijah, interestingly, exactly in this role. The Lucan version exhibits the typical features of resurrection appearance stories: doubt, lack of recognition, revelation and mission.
12 4. KIND OF WRITING Plot structure Exposition Inciting moment Complication Climax Dénouement
13 4. KIND OF WRITING Kinds of Plots Plots of Action Reversal Plots of Knowledge Insight Plots of Character Growth All three kinds of plot play a role
14 4. KIND OF WRITING A 13 (in the same/jerusalem/going) B 14 (they were talking to each other) C 15ab (Jesus himself drew near) D 16 (something prevented them from recognizing him) E 17-19a (he makes a request which stops them) F 19b-24 (ministry, death and tomb, no sight) G 25 slowness of heart/ slow to believe F' (ministry, death and tomb, in the light of SS) E' (they make a request which stops him) D' 31a (their eyes were opened, they recognized him) C' 31b (He disappears from them) B' 32 (they speak to each other) A' 33a (in the same/ Jerusalem/returning) + Coda: 33-35
15 4. KIND OF WRITING The narrative sequence: 1. Journey; 2 Jesus joins them; 3 recounting of events; 4 recounting of hope; 5 recounting of Easter; 6. Jesus reproof; 7. Jesus exegesis; 8. Meal; 9. realization; 10. return to Jerusalem; 11. report of unreported previous appearance to Simon; 12. report of what happened at the break of the bread.
16 5. NT FOREGROUND Faith: my own hopes and longings; the Word of God (in this case the OT); the story of Jesus; the tradition of the women at the tomb; the recognition of hidden presence; the Eucharist; elusive epiphanies ; checking my faith with the faith of the community. In a sense it means that we have to think of our story in the light of the Jesus story, and that in the light of the salvation history of the Hebrew Bible. But such intellectual and personal synthesis does not suffice: the risen Lord himself discloses himself unexpectedly and elusively.
17 6. COMMENT
18 6. COMMENT 13f This sets up the story, the characters and the situation. The reader knows it is Jesus and becomes an observer of the birth of faith. 17 He makes them stop. 18f Highly ironic that they should tell him, of all people, the story of his own death and resurrection! 25f Luke makes Jesus do what the early Christians did: look to the scriptures to understand their astounding experiences. 28f They make him stop. The scene does echo the Eucharist,but that is not the chief point: the Risen Lord comes in to us to stay with us when we desire it (cf. they urged him strongly). 33f Mutual confirmation of faith stories
19 6. COMMENT Easter Faith Reading of Scripture Eucharist
20 7. PRAYING THE PASSAGE 1. Jesus joined them and listened to them. We had hoped... They poured out to Jesus their disappointments. When you have been upset or disappointed who has joined you along the road? To whom have you been able to pour out your heart? Who was a Jesus person to you, listening to you in respectful silence? To whom have you been a Jesus person? 2. Jesus then helps them to see things in another light by opening the scriptures to them. Have you had the experience of new hopes being formed after disappointment? When has you heart been burning within you? What helped you to form new hopes in the light of the new reality? Who was with you in this?
21 7. PRAYING THE PASSAGE 3. The disciples invite Jesus to join them at table - there follows a recognition of who he is. We meet many people on the road of life. Usually we meet and pass on. Occasionally we meet someone who we invite into our homes, into our hearts, in a deeper way, and in a way which leads us to know people and to be known by them in a way we had not done before. With whom has this happened for you? Where in these relationships have you experienced the presence of God or of Jesus? 4. Jesus vanished but first he had given them life and they took up life in a new way. Can you name those moments of disclosure which enabled you to return to daily life renewed in spirit?
22 8. PRAYER O God of mystery, out of death you delivered Christ Jesus, and he walked in hidden glory with his disciples. Stir up our faith, that our hearts may burn within us at the sound of his word, and our eyes be opened to recognize him in the breaking of the bread. Grant this through Jesus Christ, the first-born from the dead, who lives with you now and always in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen.
