Luke 24:18

CleophasJerusalem

16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces.

One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?”

19 “What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

20 Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him.
