Luke 24:21

In context

19“What things?” he asked. They said to him, “About Jesus the Nazarene, a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and crucified him. 21We had hoped that he was the one who would set Israel free. And on top of all this, today is the third day since it happened. 22Some women of our group also astonished us. They went to the tomb early in the morning 23and did not find his body, and they came back saying they had even seen a vision of angels who told them he is alive.
