The Gospel of Luke, at Luke 24:13-35, records that Jesus appeared to two disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, which is described as being 60 stadia (10.4 to 12km depending on what definition of stadion is used) from Jerusalem, after his resurrection. One of the disciples is named as Cleopas in verse 18, while his companion remains unnamed. Cleopas is a disciple who followed Jesus and who reminded Jesus of all of the people who believed in him and the Lord. The gospel places the story on the evening of the day of Jesus’ resurrection. The two disciples have heard the tomb of Jesus was found empty earlier that day. The are discussing the events of the past few days when a stranger asks them what they are discussing. “Their eyes were kept from recognizing him. “He soon rebukes them for their unbelief and explains prophecies about the Messiah to them. On reaching Emmaus, the ask the stranger to join them for the evening meal. When he breaks the bread “their eyes were opened” and they recognize him as the resurrected Jesus. Jesus immediately vanishes. Cleopas and his friend then hasten back to Jerusalem to carry the news to the other disciples, and arrive in time to proclaim to the eleven who were gathered together with others that Jesus truly is alive. While describing the events, Jesus appeared again to all who were there, giving them a commission to evangelize. The he took them out as far as Bethany and blessed them before ascending back into heaven. A similar event is mentioned in the Gospel of Mark (Mark 16:12) although the disciples’ destination is not stated. This passage is believed by some to be a late addition derived from the Gospel of Luke. The incident is not mentioned in the gospel of Matthew or John, or in the list of witnesses to the resurrection given in I Corinthians 15 includes Hula Valley and Ramot Naftalimountains of the Upper Galilee. Historically, the part of Souther Lebanon south of the east-west section of the Litani Reveralso belonged to the region of Galilee, but the present article mainly deals with the Israeli part of the region.
