<p>24:19 <i>And he said to them: What things? And they told him the things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, that he was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people</i>- So often, if not always, the Lord's questions are to elicit self knowledge from us. &quot;The things concerning Jesus...&quot; is a term Luke's record will later use as a definition of the Gospel (Acts 8:12; 19:8). And the Lord will go on to expound to them &quot;the things concerning&quot; Himself (:27). But they knew these &quot;things concerning&quot; Him. They knew, but did not believe the reality of &quot;the things&quot; they knew. This progression from knowledge to belief is the essence of our conversion and reconversion.</p>
