"What things?" he asked.
"About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people." - Luke 24:19
You were having a little fun, weren't You? "What things?" Maybe You are more like me than I realize.
Did the disciples still not get that you were the Messiah? When it says, "two of them" in verse 13, I take that to mean that they were not part of The Twelve, but were with them. But, when they describe You, they say You were a prophet - powerful in word and DEED! (They are about to find out how powerful.)
So, even those that were in like the third ring of the friendship circle had no clue who You truly were. Was it basically, You and The Twelve (or at least most of The Twelve - love calling them The Twelve by the way)? Man, if that is true and you do the numbers, that means that in three years there were about 10 people who got it. Then, in the next, what, say five years, it went to the hundreds of thousands?
One event! I might stand by it - if you believe that You rose from the dead, you have to be a follower.
