Luke 24:22

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.

Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

23 but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive.

24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

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.
