20 Then the chief priests and our leaders had him arrested and sentenced to die on a cross.
21 We had hoped that he would be the one to set Israel free! But it has already been three days since all this happened.
22 Some women in our group surprised us. They had gone to the tomb early in the morning,
23 but did not find the body of Jesus. They came back, saying that they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive.
24 Some men from our group went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they didn't see Jesus either.
25 Then Jesus asked the two disciples, “Why can't you understand? How can you be so slow to believe all that the prophets said?
26 Didn't you know that the Messiah would have to suffer before he was given his glory?”
