Luke 24:19-21

24:19 He ¹  said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man ²  who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet ³  before God and all the people; 24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over ⁴  to be condemned to death, and crucified ⁵  him. 24:21 But we had hoped ⁶  that he was the one who was going to redeem ⁷  Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.
