According to the New Testament, shortly after the resurrection Jesus appeared to two disciples and took supper with them at which town north of Jerusalem?
"Road to Emmaus appearance The Road to Emmaus appearance is one of the early resurrection appearances of Jesus after his crucifixion and the discovery of the empty tomb. Both the ""Meeting on the road to Emmaus"" and the subsequent Supper at Emmaus, depicting the meal that Jesus had with two disciples after the encounter on the road, have been popular subjects in art. N. T. Wright considers the detailed narration of the Emmaus journey in as one of the best sketches of a biblical scene in the Gospel of Luke. Jan Lambrecht, citing D. P. Moessner, writes: ""the Emmaus story"
"appears at Emmaus (Luke 24:18). Cleopas, with an unnamed disciple of Jesus' are walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus on the day of Jesus' resurrection. Cleopas and his friend were discussing the events of the past few days when a stranger asked them what they spoke of. The stranger is asked to join Cleopas and his friend for the evening meal. There the stranger is revealed, in blessing and breaking the bread, as the resurrected Jesus before he disappears. Cleopas and his friend hastened to Jerusalem to carry the news to the other disciples, to discover that Jesus had appeared there"

Cleopas and his friend hasten back to Jerusalem to carry the news to the other disciples, and learn Jesus has also appeared to [one of] them. The same event is recorded in . In the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, which was probably written in the seventh century, states that Mary of Cleophas was"

"Jesus taught in Jerusalem before the Passion Week (). In Bethany, a village near Jerusalem, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. This potent sign increases the tension with authorities, who conspire to kill him (). Mary of Bethany anoints Jesus' feet, foreshadowing his entombment. Jesus then makes his Messianic entry into Jerusalem. The cheering crowds greeting Jesus as he enters Jerusalem add to the animosity between him and the establishment. In John, Jesus has already cleansed the Second Temple during an earlier Passover visit to Jerusalem. John next recounts Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples. The Last Supper is the"

This prompted Jesus to answer, ""I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.""

Afterwards, the disciples withdrew to an upper room (Acts 1:10–14) (traditionally the Cenacle) in Jerusalem.

Alfred McBride says that ""enthusiasm flooded their whole being"" when the two disciples have ""encounter[ed] the Risen Christ"" in the supper at Emmaus. They sensed a must to share their happiness and the good news with another so that they were willing to go through a long walk back to Jerusalem.

The gospel notes that it was ""about the sixth hour"" i.e. around noon (according to Jewish reckoning), or in the evening (according to Roman reckoning); the events recorded are more consistent with the latter, as noon was not the natural time either for resting after a journey or for drawing water. While Jesus is waiting for his disciples to return, a Samaritan woman comes to the well and Jesus asks her for a drink. The woman is surprised and"

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. They are discussing the events of"

The Arab village of Amwas was identified once again as the biblical Emmaus and the Roman-Byzantine Nicopolis by scholars in the 19th century, including Edward Robinson(1838–1852), M.-V.

The account is also related in the two other synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke. The reference in the Gospel of Matthew reads: ""Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum which was by the lake."" (Matthew 4:13). According to the Gospels, Capernaum became the home base for Jesus' ministry: ""And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city [referring"

Instead of immediately traveling to Bethany, according to the narrator, Jesus intentionally remains where he is for two more days before beginning the journey.

A city east of the Jordan River, it is in a ""desert place"" (that is, uncultivated ground used for grazing), possibly the site at which Jesus miraculously fed the multitude with five loaves and two fish (; ).

In it is recorded that the early community of disciples of Jesus began to be persecuted in Jerusalem and were 'scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria'. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached and healed the sick there. In the time of Jesus, ""Iudaea"" of the Romans was divided into the"

The description of the town's location comes straight from the quote from Isaiah that will be quoted in . Capernaum was located in Naphtali, but it was near Zebulun. The town is mentioned nowhere in the Old Testament, but does feature in all four Gospels. Matthew is the only source that has Jesus actually living in the town. The other three have him only preaching and meeting his disciples there. This also seems to"

In Mark's Gospel, Jesus returns to Galilee from the desert after John's arrest, following a period of solitude and temptation. In Matthew's Gospel, the narrative suggests that after his baptism he had spent time in the desert, the ""holy city"" (Jerusalem) and a mountainous area before returning to Galilee. He left Nazareth, where he had grown up, and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the Sea of Galilee ""in the heart of the world, in a busy town,"

"or is using his method of double time chronology, such as 1:32, where two temporally separated events are sandwiched together. The other synoptic gospels agree with Mark on this chronology. John 19:14 however has Jesus' death occur during the slaughter of the Passover lamb, making his death the fourteenth and thus the Last Supper on the thirteenth and so not the Passover meal. He tells two unnamed disciples to go to the ""city"": although Mark does not state which city, it was clearly Jerusalem, about two miles from Bethany, as after the meal they go to the Mount of Olives."
