Luke 24:25

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.”

Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?”

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.

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.
