Context of Luke 24:20
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. Then the leaders of the priests and our rulers took hold of him. They gave him to the Roman ruler. They said that he had done bad things and that he ought to die. So they killed him by fixing him to a cross. 21But before that we had hoped that he would save the people of Israel. We hoped that he would make us free again. There are other things too. Today is the third day since Jesus died. 22After all this happened, some women in our group surprised us. Early this morning, they went to the place where Joseph had put him.
