Emmaus
   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.
