    12. Moses said to the Lord, “See, you have said to me, ‘Bring up this people’; but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’

    13. Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways, so that I may know you and find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.”

    14. He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

    15. And he said to him, “If your presence will not go, do not carry us up from here.

    16. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go with us? In this way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face of the earth.”

    1. After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

    2. There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,

    3. and, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked together—by trade they were tentmakers.

    4. Every sabbath he would argue in the synagogue and would try to convince Jews and Greeks.

    5. When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with proclaiming the word, testifying to the Jews that the Messiah was Jesus.

    6. When they opposed and reviled him, in protest he shook the dust from his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

    7. Then he left the synagogue and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next door to the synagogue.

    8. Crispus, the official of the synagogue, became a believer in the Lord, together with all his household; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul became believers and were baptized.

    9. One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;

    10. for I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, for there are many in this city who are my people.”

    11. He stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

    7. But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.

    8. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

    9. persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

    10. always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies.

    11. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.

    12. So death is at work in us, but life in you.

    13. But just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture—“I believed, and so I spoke”—we also believe, and so we speak,

    14. because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence.

    15. Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. Living by Faith

    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.

    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.

    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. Jesus Appears to His Disciples
