Shakespeare did not invent the phrase if that is what you mean. The expression goes back at least to 1000 AD and has developed gradually over a thousand years to its present form, helped along by Dr Samuel Johnson of dictionary fame.
The two men on the road after Jesus' death were Cleopas and another disciple, as mentioned in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 24:13-35). They were discussing the recent events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection when Jesus appeared to them, though they did not recognize him at first.
Your question has two answers: Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus the day of His resurrection (Luke 24:13-15), and He appeared in spirit to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-5).
Jesus met two of his new disciples (not apostles) there and walked with them! They were blinded by their own sorrow that Jesus had died and didn't recognize Him. At the end other their journey they finally recognized Him and went back to Jerusalem to see the 11 disciples and told them Jesus had risen from the dead.
The two people Jesus appeared to on the road to Damascus were Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) and Ananias. Jesus appeared to Saul in a blinding light and spoke to him, causing him to become a believer and change his ways. Ananias was instructed by Jesus to go to Saul and heal him of his blindness.
This phrase may be attributed to writer Jace J Quinn. It has been used in a print ad for General Motors. Regardless of its origin, whoever said it was apparently unaware that the road to redemption is about the shortest road one could conceive of--two steps. Take the two steps described in the Bible's Epistle to the Romans, the tenth chapter, the ninth verse, and you have arrived at Redemptionville, aka salvation: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. To be redeemed is to be bought back, and you have been bought back from eternal death. Hence, you have been saved from death by the man who "fell on the grenade" for you by dying in your place, and paid the price you were required to pay for your sin, since "the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
Samuel Johnson said,"The road of good intentions is paved with hell." by saed.
the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Actually, the saying is "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." I believe it is more of a proverb, and I'm not certain an attribution can be identified. It has been used in song, poems, and other literature for at least the past hundred years.
anyone who will say this is obviously unaware that they are advocating bad intentions.

Good intentions (so wrong if you ask me... I am catholic, so i don't believe that)
yes you may intend to do good but when you dont you still have to stand before God in judgement for it and good works wont get you to heaven
No. The expression means you cannot accomplish a good end by evil means.

It is a very long road, paved with good intentions. The trips seems all the longer when the kids in the back seat keep asking, "when are we going to get there?"
