LUKE 24:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.”
But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place — but we had hoped (hēmeis de elpizomen, we on our part were hoping): the past-tense hope. He was the one who was going to redeem Israel: the messianic expectation that the cross appeared to destroy. It is the third day: the disciples know the timing — this is the day Jesus predicted the resurrection, and yet.
