Contextual Overview

13The same day, two of the cowboys who rode with Jesus were riding down the seven-mile trail from Jerusalem to Emmaus. 14They talked about everything that had happened that weekend. 15As they were talking, a cowboy came up and rode beside them. 16God kept the two from recognizing Jesus. 17He said, "Y'all seem to be in a deep discussion. What're y'all talking about?"They reined up, and he could see the sadness in their eyes. 18Cleopas said, "Are you the only one around here who hasn't heard what happened?" 19"What happened to cause such a stir?" Jesus asked."Jesus, the cowboy from Nazareth, the one who did so many miracles, the one who taught us so many things . . . he's what happened. 20The religious leaders had him killed. 21We all thought he was the Top Hand who would come and rescue God's people from the Romans. But he died three days ago." 22"Some women who have been with us who rode with Jesus went to the tomb this morning to prepare his body, but they came back with a tale too hard to believe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And how the chief priests and our rulers,.... Civil and ecclesiastic:

delivered him; to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor:

to be condemned to death; the death of the cross, by the said governor, having first seized him and examined him before their sanhedrim, and pronounced him guilty of death:

and have crucified him; for though Pilate passed the sentence, and the Roman soldiers executed it, yet these men are said to do it, because it was at their request, and through their instigation, that it was done; hence Peter charges the Jewish sanhedrim with it, Acts 4:10.
