024:018 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, "Are you a stranger
lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing
of the things that have lately happened in the city?"
024:019 "What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene,"
they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word
before God and all the people;
024:020 and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.
024:021 But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened.
024:022 And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,
024:023 and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.
024:024 Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things
just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see."
024:025 "O dull-witted men," He replied, "with minds so slow to believe
all that the Prophets have spoken!
024:026 Was there not a necessity for the Christ thus to suffer,
and then enter into His glory?"
024:027 And, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained
to them the passages in Scripture which refer to Himself.
