THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE - Chapter 24 - Verse 19

Verse 19. A prophet. A teacher sent from God. They did not now call him the Messiah, for his death had led them to doubt that, but they had no doubt that he was a distinguished prophet. The evidence of that was so clear that they could not call it in question.

Mighty in deed. Powerful in working miracles, in raising the dead, healing the sick, &c.

In word. In teaching.

Before God and all the people. Manifestly; publicly. So that God owned him, and the people regarded him as a distinguished teacher.

{l} "prophet" Lu 7:16; Joh 3:2; Ac 2:22

{m} "mighty" Ac 7:22
