Emmaus, or Emmaus:
(warm baths) the village to which the two disciples were going when our Lord appeared to them on the way, on the day of his resurrection (Luke 24:13). Luke makes its distance from Jerusalem sixty stadia (Authorized Version "threescore furlongs") or about 7 1/2 miles; and Josephus mentions "a village called Emmaus" at the same distance. The site of Emmaus remains yet to be identified.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
