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.
