Luke 24:5 in Context — Luke 24

3 et, étant entrées, elles ne trouvèrent pas le corps du Seigneur Jésus.

4 Comme elles ne savaient que penser de cela, voici, deux hommes leur apparurent, en habits resplendissants.

5 Saisies de frayeur, elles baissèrent le visage contre terre; mais ils leur dirent: Pourquoi cherchez-vous parmi les morts celui qui est vivant?

6 Il n’est point ici, mais il est ressuscité. Souvenez-vous de quelle manière il vous a parlé, lorsqu’il était encore en Galilée,

7 et qu’il disait: Il faut que le Fils de l’homme soit livré entre les mains des pécheurs, qu’il soit crucifié, et qu’il ressuscite le troisième jour.
