‘About Jesus of Nazareth,’ they replied. ‘He was a prophet, powerful in all He said and did. The chief priests and our rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him. We had hoped that He was the one who was going to save Israel. It is now the third day since all this took place. – Slide 5
