<p>24:27 <i>And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted for them from all the scriptures, the things concerning himself</i>- This way of beginning in the prophets and explaining the &quot;things concerning&quot; the Lord Jesus was copied by Philip (Acts 8:35). Luke, who also wrote Acts, is seeking to develop the idea of a continuity of witness between the Lord and all those in Him. &quot;The things concerning&quot; the Lord Jesus were the same things taught by Philip (Acts 8:12). &quot;He interpreted for them&quot; may be seen as an act of His grace; for He has just implied that they were unreasonably slow to have interpreted the prophets; He had expected them to interpret them as pointing to the things of His sufferings and resurrection. And so He does it for them here.</p>
