He would continue toward Jerusalem undeterred.
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. . . indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee?
