18 The one named Cleopas said, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has just happened there.”
19 Jesus said, “What are you talking about?” They said, “It’s about Jesus, the one from Nazareth. To God and to all the people he was a great prophet. He said and did many powerful things.
20 But our leaders and the leading priests handed him over to be judged and killed. They nailed him to a cross.
21 We were hoping that he would be the one to free Israel. But then all this happened. “And now something else: It has been three days since he was killed,
22 but today some of our women told us an amazing thing. Early this morning they went to the tomb where the body of Jesus was laid.
23 But they did not find his body there. They came and told us they had seen some angels in a vision. The angels told them Jesus was alive!
24 So some of our group went to the tomb too. It was just as the women said. They saw the tomb, but they did not see Jesus.”
