Context of Luke 24:17

15While they were talking like this, Jesus himself came near to them. He started to walk along with them. 16They saw him, but for some reason they did not recognize him. Jesus asked them, ‘What are you talking about while you walk along the road?’ They stood still and they seemed sad. 18One of them, called Cleopas, answered him, ‘Many things have happened in Jerusalem in the last few days. Are you the only visitor here that does not know about it?’ 19Jesus asked them, ‘What things have happened?’ They replied, ‘The things that happened to Jesus who was from Nazareth. He was a prophet from God. He did many great things and he spoke powerful messages. God showed that his message was true. All the people believed him.
