Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Luke 24
¹⁹ “What things?” Jesus asked. “The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people.
²⁰ But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
²¹ We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.
²² “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report.
²³ They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive!
²⁴ Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.”
²⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.
²⁶ Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?”
²⁷ Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
²⁸ By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on,
²⁹ but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them.
