Person 2 is at home, person 1 comes in and looks completely stunned.

Person 1 (absent) Hello

Person 2 Hello, what's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Person 1 Yes, uh, that's actually true.

Person 2 What do you mean you saw a ghost?

Person 1 I met old Samuel from across the street earlier.

Person 2 Who died ten years ago?

Person 1 That's the one! He even waved at me.

Person 2 Impossible! But the neighbour next door also told something like that. She saw the old Zechariah, the priest from the temple, who has also been dead for some years. I thought she was crazy, but now you come up with a story like that.

Person 1 Is this the end of the world now?

Person 2 Come on. You all imagined it.

Person 1 No, that was really Samuel, I was only a few steps away from him.

Person 2 But the dead stay dead and don't come back!

Person 1 I wonder if it has something to do with this Jesus?

Person 2 But he is dead too. Weren't you even at the crucifixion?

Person 1 Yes, it was, I was standing further away. It was frightening when it got dark and the earth shook afterwards. And on the way home I met my cousin Hallum, who works in the temple, and he heard from the high priest that at the same time as the earth shook, the curtain in the Holy of Holies was torn.

Person 2 Yes, I've heard about that too, but it could also be a coincidence.

Person 1 coincidence, I don't know. And then this encounter with Samuel, that can't be a coincidence.

Person 2 But that has nothing to do with this Jesus, does it?

Person 1 I don't know... He was an extraordinary person. Did you notice that he healed the deaf Hannah?

Person 2 Yes, actually, that was remarkable.

Person 1 I was still hoping to meet him again so that he could cure my toothache. But unfortunately that is too late now.

Person 2 Tell me, didn't this Jesus say that he would come back from the dead?

Person 1 He said that he would be raised on the third day.

Person 2 Do you also know where this will happen?

Person 1 Why?

Person 2 Well, because of your toothache!

Person 1 (grimaces) Seriously, can't it all be connected to this Jesus somehow? The darkness, the earthquake, the torn curtain and also the dead appearing here?

Person 2 So with the dead, I don't know.... Of course, it is written in the Torah that God can lead people into the realm of the dead and also bring them back again...

Person 1 Right! And in the same way, he can raise this Jesus again on the third day.

Person 2 What will happen then...?
