<p> | <p> [[Emmaus]] (''em-mâ'us'' or ''ĕm'ma-ŭs'' ), ''hot springs.'' [[A]] village near Jerusalem, where two disciples entertained Jesus after his resurrection. Luke 24:13. Its site has been disputed; among the places suggested are: 1. ''ʾAmwâs,'' on the plain of Philistia, 22 miles from Jerusalem and 10 miles from Lydda. 2. ''Kuryet el ʾEnab,'' by Robinson, 3 hours from Jerusalem, on the road to Jaffa. 3. ''Kŭlônieh,'' 2 leagues or 4½ miles west of Jerusalem. 4 ''Urtâs,'' a poor village about 2 miles southwest of Bethlehem. 5. In the fourteenth century Emmaus was placed at ''Kubeibeh,'' a little over 7 miles northwest of Jerusalem. </p> | ||
