Luke 24:17-25

17He asked them, “What are you discussing?” They stopped and looked very sad.

18One of them, Cleopas, replied, “Are you the only one in Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has happened recently?”

19“What happened?” he asked. They said to him, “We were discussing what happened to Jesus from Nazareth. He was a powerful prophet in what he did and said in the sight of God and all the people.

20Our chief priests and rulers had him condemned to death and crucified.

21We were hoping that he was the one who would free Israel. What’s more, this is now the third day since everything happened.

22Some of the women from our group startled us. They went to the tomb early this morning

23and didn’t find his body. They told us that they had seen angels who said that he’s alive.

24Some of our men went to the tomb and found it empty, as the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”

25Then Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are! You’re so slow to believe everything the prophets said!
