Neville Goddard on Luke 24:17-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 24 in context

Scripture Focus

17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

Luke 24:17-19

Biblical Context

Jesus questions the two travelers about their sad talk on the road, and they recount the recent events concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a mighty prophet.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the road, their sadness is not a fact of the world but a state of mind asking to be revised. The Stranger's question, What things?, is the opening of your own awareness to reframe what you have permitted to become your reality. The reference to Jesus of Nazareth as a prophet mighty in deed and word reveals how you have invested power in outward events. Neville would say: the real person walking is your I AM, and every event is a movement within your own consciousness. When you hear 'the things that have come to pass,' you are hearing your old beliefs. The healing comes when you revise them, not by arguing with history but by turning the sentence into a new assumption: the Kingdom of God is at hand; the end is already done; I am that end. Feel the truth enter your body as a settled sensation of completion, and watch as the mental weather shifts to reflect the inner certainty. In such a waking, the outer story fades, and the inner Christ awakens as the living you.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, picture the road and the Stranger as your I AM, ask internally, 'What things?' then declare, 'All is fulfilled now in my consciousness,' and feel the relief and certainty rise.
