Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs who had been appointed as her attendant.

He asked Hathach to show it to Esther and explain the situation to her. He also asked Hathach to direct her to go to the king to beg for mercy and plead for her people.So Hathach returned to Esther with Mordecai’s message.Then Esther told Hathach to go back and relay this message to Mordecai:“ All the king’s officials and even the people in the provinces know that anyone who appears before the king in his inner court without being invited is doomed to die unless the king holds out his gold scepter. And the king has not called for me to come to him for thirty days.”So Hathach gave Esther’s message to Mordecai.Mordecai sent this reply to Esther:“ Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:“ Go and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I must die.”So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

Why did they waste their time with futile plans?The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.’“ In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed.But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will.And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all.

Luke 24:14-31
As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened.As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them.But God kept them from recognizing him.He asked them,“ What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stopped short, sadness written across their faces.Then one of them, Cleopas, replied,“ You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.”“ What things?” Jesus asked.“ The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said.“ He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people.But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.“ Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report.They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive!Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.”Then Jesus said to them,“ You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?”Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on,but they begged him,“ Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them.As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them.Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!
