Encountering Jesus on the road to Emmaus

They left Jerusalem, headed toward a village called Emmaus, which was about 7 miles west of Jerusalem. To put this in our local distances to help us understand, this is about the distance from the top of Connors Road along H-58 out to the Bear Trap at the top of 15. A decent pace might make this walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus a solid three to four hours.
