The<n id="1" /> women<n id="2" /> were terribly frightened<n id="3" /> and bowed<n id="4" /> their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, &#8220;Why do you look for the living<n id="5" /> among the dead?

They<n id="1" /> said to each other, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t<n id="2" /> our hearts<n id="3" /> burn within us<n id="4" /> while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining<n id="5" /> the scriptures to us?&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> they said to him, &#8220;John&#8217;s<n id="2" /> disciples frequently fast<n id="3" /> and pray,<n id="4" /> and so do the disciples of the Pharisees,<n id="5" /> but yours continue to eat and drink.&#8221;<n id="6" />

When<n id="1" /> the men came to Jesus,<n id="2" /> they said, &#8220;John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,<n id="3" /> &#8216;Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?&#8217;&#8221;<n id="4" />

and said to him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Tell us: By what authority<n id="2" /> are you doing these things?<n id="3" /> Or who it is who gave you this authority?&#8221;

He<n id="1" /> said to them, &#8220;What things?&#8221; &#8220;The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,&#8221; they replied, &#8220;a man<n id="2" /> who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet<n id="3" /> before God and all the people;

Now the day began to draw to a close,<n id="1" /> so<n id="2" /> the twelve came and said to Jesus,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging<n id="4" /> and food, because we are in an isolated place.&#8221;<n id="5" />

But he said to them, &#8220;You<n id="1" /> give them something to eat.&#8221; They<n id="2" /> replied,<n id="3" /> &#8220;We have no more than five loaves and two fish &#8211; unless<n id="4" /> we go<n id="5" /> and buy food<n id="6" /> for all these people.&#8221;
