Em'ma-us or Emma'us. (warm baths). The village to which the two disciples were going when our Lord appeared to them on the way, on the day of his resurrection. Luke 24:13. Luke makes its distance from Jerusalem, sixty stadia, (Authorized Version, "threescore furlongs"), or about 7 1/2 miles; and Josephus mentions, "a village called Emmaus," at the same distance. The site of Emmaus remains yet to be identified.
