[INTERPOSING VOICES] What manner of
communications are these that ye have one to another,
as ye walk, and are sad? Art thou only a
stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known
of the things which are come to pass
there in these days? What things? Concerning Jesus
of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty
in deed and word before God and all
the people: and how the chief priests and our
rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death,
and have crucified him. But we trusted
that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day
since these things were done. Yea, and certain women
also of our company made us astonished, which
were early at the sepulchre; and when they
found not his body, they came, saying,
that they had also seen a vision of angels,
which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were
with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so
as the women had said: but him they saw not. O fools, and slow of
heart to believe all that the prophets
have spoken: ought not Christ to have
suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? [INTERPOSING VOICES] Abide with us: for
it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. Our Father, we offer
thanks for Thy bounties. Amen. Amen. Did not our heart
burn within us, while he talked with us by the
way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? We must return to
Jerusalem this very hour.
