Luke 24:19-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. He said to them, “What things?”They said to Him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people,

20. and how our chief priests and rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death and crucified Him.

21. But we were hoping that it was He who was to redeem Israel. Moreover, today is the third day since these things happened.

22. Even some women from among us, who arrived early at the tomb, surprised us.

23. When they did not find His body, they returned saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive.

24. Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they did not see Him.”

25. He said to them, “O fools! And slow of heart to believe what the prophets have spoken!

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