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.”
25 Then Jesus said to the two men, “You are foolish and slow to realize what is true. You should believe everything the prophets said.
26 The prophets said the Messiah must suffer these things before he begins his time of glory.”
27 Then he began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with the books of Moses and then he talked about what the prophets had said about him.
28 They came near the town of Emmaus, and Jesus acted as if he did not plan to stop there.
