They were at the tomb early this morn ing\, 23 and when they did not find his body there\, they came back and to ld us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was al ive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said\; but they did not see him.’ 25 Then he said to th em\, ‘Oh\, how foolish you are\, and how slow of heart to believe all th at the prophets have declared! 26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah sh ould suffer these things and then enter into his glory?’ 27 Then beginn ing with Moses and all the prophets\, he interpreted to them the things ab out himself in all the scriptures.\n28 As they came near the village to wh ich they were going\, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged him strongly\, saying\, ‘Stay with us\, because it is almost eveni ng and the day is now nearly over.’ So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them\, he took bread\, blessed and broke it\ , and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened\, and they recognize d him\; and he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other\, ‘ Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the ro ad\, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’ 33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem\; and they found the eleven and their com panions gathered together. 34 They were saying\, ‘The Lord has risen ind eed\, and he has appeared to Simon!’ 35 Then they told what had happened on the road\, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of t he bread.\n\nThis week we pray for all who live and work in Bridge Road\, Medina Road\, Brunswick Road\, Pine Tree Close and the parish of All Saint s\, Gurnard.\n\nPlease see attached for Sunday Notes - Easter 3\n\nAll are welcome to our family friendly services that last approximately 1 hour an d are live streamed on YouTube.
