Context of Luke 24:19
17Then he said to them, “What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people; 20and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.

Commentaries on Luke 24:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Which was a prophet - , a man prophet, a genuine prophet; but this has been considered as a Hebraism: "for, in Exodus 2:14, a man prince is simply a prince; and in 1 Samuel 31:3, men archers mean no more than archers." But my own opinion is, that this word is often used to deepen the signification, so in the above quotations: Who made thee a man prince (i.e. a mighty sovereign) and a judge over us! Exodus 2:14. And, the battle went sore against Saul, and…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19A 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.

And where but two together are well employed in work of that kind, he will come to them, and make a third. Those who seek…Read the comment
