Emmaus

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: E By: George A. Morrish

Luke 24:13

A village about threescore furlongs from Jerusalem, that is, about 7 miles, to where the two disciples were traveling on the day of the resurrection, to whom the Lord made Himself known (Luke 24:13¹³And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. (Luke 24:13)). Some identify it with ruins at Khamaseh, about 8 miles S.W. of Jerusalem; others with el Kubeibeh, about 7 miles N.W. of Jerusalem: but there are no data for its identification.
