This phrase is spoken by Jesus, who is engaging with two disciples on the road to Emmaus. His question is a rhetorical device, inviting the disciples to express their understanding and feelings about recent events. It reflects Jesus' teaching style, often using questions to provoke thought and reflection. This approach is consistent with His method throughout the Gospels, where He frequently uses questions to lead others to deeper insights (e.g., <a href="/matthew/16-13.htm">Matthew 16:13-15</a>).“The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. The disciples refer to Jesus as "Jesus of Nazareth," highlighting His earthly origins and human identity. Nazareth was a small town in Galilee, often regarded with low esteem (<a href="/john/1-46.htm">John 1:46</a>). This identification emphasizes Jesus' humble beginnings and fulfills the prophecy that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene (<a href="/matthew/2-23.htm">Matthew 2:23</a>). The mention of "events" indicates the recent crucifixion and the surrounding occurrences, which were well-known in Jerusalem at the time.“This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people. The disciples describe Jesus as a "prophet," acknowledging His role as a messenger of God. This title connects Jesus to the Old Testament tradition of prophets who spoke God's word and performed miracles, such as Moses and Elijah. His power "in speech and action" refers to His authoritative teaching and miraculous works, which demonstrated His divine authority (<a href="/matthew/7-28.htm">Matthew 7:28-29</a>, <a href="/john/14-10.htm">John 14:10-11</a>). The phrase "before God and all the people" underscores His public ministry and the widespread recognition of His works, aligning with the prophecy in <a href="/deuteronomy/18-18.htm">Deuteronomy 18:18-19</a> about a prophet like Moses who would speak God's words to the people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_of_nazareth.htm">Jesus of Nazareth</a> Central figure in Christianity, recognized here as a prophet.

They believed in Jesus as a prophet; they hoped that He would redeem Israel. They had not risen to the belief that He was the Christ, the Son of God. And now even that faith was tottering. The whole narrative suggests that our Lord was choosing this exceptional method of dealing with them as a step in the spiritual education which was to lead them on to the higher truth.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 19. - And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people. To the Stranger's question, "What things have so lately excited Jerusalem?" they both probably burst out with "the Name," then doubtless on all lips in the holy city, "Jesus of Nazareth," the hated and adored Same. And then they went on with a farther explanation to One who seemed a stranger just arrived: they explained who this Jesus was supposed to have been. "He was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people," which Lunge happily paraphrases "equally great in secret contemplative holiness and in public acts of beneficence." But then the "two" explained, "This he was; for he is no more. Our chief priests and rulers have done him to death.
