YouTube description
The gospel reading in this Year A for the Third Sunday of Easter Luke 24.13–35, the story of two disciples meeting the risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus. It is a favourite story for many, a long narrative full of fascinating detail which connects with Luke's opening stories in the gospel at many points. It is full of irony and humour, and connects with the idea of discipleship as a journey.
