Luke 24:18-27

New International Version

¹⁸ One of them, named Cleopas,^(A) asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

¹⁹ “What things?” he asked.

“About Jesus of Nazareth,”^(B) they replied. “He was a prophet,^(C) powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. ²⁰ The chief priests and our rulers^(D) handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; ²¹ but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.^(E) And what is more, it is the third day^(F) since all this took place. ²² In addition, some of our women amazed us.^(G) They went to the tomb early this morning ²³ but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. ²⁴ Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”^(H)

²⁵ He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”^{(I) 27} And beginning with Moses^(J) and all the Prophets,^(K) he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.^(L)
