And they sayd vnto him, Of Iesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet, mightie in deede and in word before God, and all people, 20 And howe the hie Priests, and our rulers deliuered him to be condemned to death, and haue crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had bene he that should haue deliuered Israel, and as touching all these things, to day is ye third day, that they were done. 22 Yea, & certaine women among vs made vs astonied, which came early vnto the sepulchre. 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seene a vision of Angels, which sayd, that he was aliue. 24 Therefore certaine of them which were with vs, went to the sepulchre, and found it euen so as the women had sayd, but him they saw not. 25 Then he sayd vnto them, O fooles and slowe of heart to beleeue all that the Prophets haue spoken! 26 Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And he began at Moses, & at all the Prophets, and interpreted vnto them in all the Scriptures the things which were written of him. 28 And they drew neere vnto ye towne, which they went to, but he made as though hee would haue gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with vs: for it is towards night, & the day is farre spent.
