12 And on last Friday he was taken to the place of skulls and crucified.

13 He died and he was buried in a rich man’s tomb, out in the garden of Siloam.

14 This very morning when his friends went to the tomb they found it empty; the body of the Lord was gone.

15 And now the news has spread abroad that he has risen from the dead.

16 The stranger said, Yes, I have heard about this man; but it seems strange that after all the things that Jewish prophets long ago foretold concerning him that when he came men knew him not.

17 This man was born to demonstrate the Christ to men, and it is just to say that Jesus is the Christ.

18 According to the Word, this Jesus came to suffer at the hands of men, to give his life as pattern for the sons of men;

19 To rise from death that men might know the way to rise from death.

20 And then the stranger told the two disciples all about the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms, and read to them a multitude of things that had been written of this man from Galilee.

21 And now the men had reached their home and as the night was near they importuned the stranger to abide with them.
