Historia (Luke  24: 18-35)              

Soprano        
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called
Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
And he said unto them,

Bass                
What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another,    
as ye walk, and are sad?

Soprano          
And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him,

Tenor              
Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

Soprano          
And he said unto them,

Bass                
What things?

Soprano          
And they said unto him,

Mezzo            
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:  And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

Tenor              
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel : and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

Mezzo            
Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher;
And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

Tenor              
And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said : but him they saw not.

Soprano          
Then he said unto them:

Bass                
O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

Soprano          
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
But they constrained him, saying,

Tenor/Mezzo    
Abide with us : for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.

Soprano          
And he went in to tarry with them.
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him ; and he vanished out of their sight.
And they said to one another,

Mezzo/Tenor    
Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Soprano        
And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
Saying,

Mezzo/Tenor    
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

Soprano        
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
