Introduction
Jesus’ resurrection.
Questions
1. What do the men in dazzling clothes say to the women who look in Jesus' tomb?
v 5 to 7 ... “ They said to them, “Why do you seek the living amongst the dead? He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?
2. What is the disciples' reaction when the women tell them what they have been told? What does Peter then do?

3. What does Jesus explain to the disciples on the road to Emmaus?
v 27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
