Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 24:19

19 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:

The things which had lately happened in Ierusalem were so many, and so unusual, that the Disciples wonder that any one coming from Ierusalem should ask what things? they therefore ask him, if he were a meer stranger in Ierusalem, coming from some other Country, or from some remoter parts of Iudea or Galilee? or, if he were the only Man, who had been unconcerned in what was the common Discourse, both of the Town and Country? Still our Saviour draws out the Discourse from them, by asking them what things? They tell them concerning Iesus of Nazareth, a great Prophet, mighty both in Words and Deeds. In which Phrase Stephen Celebrated Moses, Acts 7.22. That is, one who did not only in an Extraordinary manner reveal the Will of God unto Men, but also did many great and mighty Works, and lived a most Holy and most Exemplary Life, and Conversation, so as that he was not only highly favoured of God. but in great repute, and Estimation also amongst the People.
