Luke 24:25-27
What is written? (ESV)
And he said to them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory? And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
What does it say?
He [Jesus] told them [two disciples on the road] how foolish they were to be slow or resisting believing everything that prophets had spoken about. Didn’t they testify about the sufferings the Christ would endure in order to enter into His glory? So beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained all of the Scriptures pertaining to Himself.
What is its immediate context?
Luke’s account of Jesus’ life after his bodily resurrection. Jesus has appeared to several people already and is here walking with two disciples on the road to Emmaus (vss 13-27).
