“Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them…” -Luke 24:13-15

That same road is still in existence today! Our Rabbi Jesus (Lois Tverberg) has been there and shared about it in this post.

We’ve Found the Emmaus Road, and It’s Crumbling

Scholars know the location of the road to Emmaus where Jesus walked in Luke 24, but the remains are in ruins and crumbling quickly.

This ancient tomb is in Jerusalem and helps us to picture the stone rolled away and the empty tomb of Jesus’ resurrection.

What might Calvary/Golgotha and the tomb have looked like during Jesus’ time?

This illustration from National Geographic helps us to visualize the quarry outside the first-century walls of Jerusalem, a possible location of Calvary. Today, this area is covered by the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

✝️ The cross is often pictured up on a high grassy hill, but the geography of this area in Jesus’ time gives a very different image.

🌿 The cross was at eye level, close enough for them to reach up to him with a hyssop branch (John 19:29).

📏 There is only about 140-feet between the cross and tomb, about two-fifths of one American football field, just a short walk away.
