Amplified Bible

Luke 24:21-29 Amplified Bible (AMP)

21. But we were hoping that it was He Who would redeem and set Israel free. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things occurred.

22. And moreover, some women of our company astounded us and drove us out of our senses. They were at the tomb early [in the morning]

23. But did not find His body; and they returned saying that they had [even] seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive!

24. So some of those [who were] with us went to the tomb and they found it just as the women had said, but Him they did not see.

25. And [Jesus] said to them, O foolish ones [sluggish in mind, dull of perception] and slow of heart to believe (adhere to and trust in and rely on) everything that the prophets have spoken!

26. Was it not necessary and essentially fitting that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer all these things before entering into His glory (His majesty and splendor)?

27. Then beginning with Moses and [throughout] all the Prophets, He went on explaining and interpreting to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning and referring to Himself.

28. Then they drew near the village to which they were going, and He acted as if He would go further.

29. But they urged and insisted, saying to Him, Remain with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. So He went in to stay with them.
