Luke 24:19

Jesus Nazareth

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

¹⁸ 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?”

“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.

²¹ But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
