Two Disciples Meet Jesus

Mark 16:12-13

These two people were travelling away from Jerusalem. They met Jesus but they did not recognise him. They walked with him. And he explained the Bible to them. They did not know who he was until later (Luke 24:13-35). Then they returned to Jerusalem. And they told the disciples that Jesus was alive.

But the disciples were not yet ready to believe. They heard these reports. And they hear other people‘s reports too. These things surprised them very much. They did not think that Jesus would become alive again. It was too difficult for them to believe that God would do this. But they should have believed. The Bible says that this would happen. Jesus had taught them that it would happen. And God sent both angels and people to tell them that it had happened.
