last few days?

found it just as the women had said. But they
didn't see Jesus either.
66Luke 2413-35 CEV

you understand? How can you be so slow to believe
all that the prophets said? 26Didn't you know
that the Messiah would have to suffer before he
was given his glory?
67Luke 2413-35 CEV
- 27Jesus then explained everything written about
himself in the Scriptures, beginning with the Law
of Moses and the Books of the Prophets. 28When

were going, Jesus seemed to be going farther.
68Luke 2413-35 CEV
- 29They begged him, "Stay with us! It's already
late, and the sun is going down." So Jesus went
into the house to stay with them. - 30After Jesus sat down to eat, he took some
bread. He blessed it and broke it. Then he gave
it to them. - 31At once they knew who he was, but he
disappeared.

- 32They said to each other, "When he talked with
us along the road and explained the Scriptures to
us, didn't it warm our hearts?" - 33So they got right up and returned to Jerusalem.

the others gathered together.
70Luke 2413-35 CEV
- 34And they learned from the group that the Lord
was really alive and had appeared to Peter.
