Emmaus in Easton's Bible Dictionary
hot baths, a village "three-score furlongs" from jerusalem,
where our Lord had an interview with two of his
disciples on the
day of his resurrection (Luke 24:13). This has been
identified
with the modern el-Kubeibeh, lying over 7 miles north-
west of
Jerusalem. This name, el-Kubeibeh, meaning "little
dome," is
derived from the remains of the Crusaders' church yet
to be
found there. Others have identified it with the modern
Khurbet
Khamasa i.e., "the ruins of Khamasa", about 8 miles
south-west
of Jerusalem, where there are ruins also of a
Crusaders' church.
Its site, however has been much disputed.
