¹⁶But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

¹⁶But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

¹⁷He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”

¹⁷And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

¹⁸One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
