LUKE 24:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And 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:”
What things? he asked. About Jesus of Nazareth, they replied. He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people — what things: the gentle invitation to tell the story. Jesus of Nazareth, a prophet powerful in word and deed: the disciples' category for Jesus. The prophet is the highest category they have — and it is not high enough.
Church Fathers on Luke 24:19
After the manifestation of Christ’s resurrection made by the Angels to the women, the same resurrection is further manifested by an appearance of Christ Himself to His disciples; as it is said, And behold two of them.
Some say that Luke was one of these two, and for this reason concealed his name.
Or to two of the disciples by themselves our Lord showed Himself in the evening, namely, Ammaon and Cleophas.
