Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/net.bible.org\/bible.php?book=luke&amp;chapter=24\">Luke 24:1\u20137, NET<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know what you\u2019re thinking.
