Luke 24:28

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.

As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther.

29 But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.

30 While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.
