Indeed
The word "indeed" serves as an affirmation, emphasizing the certainty and truth of the statement that follows. In Greek, the word used is "καί" (kai), often translated as "and" or "indeed," which connects the current statement to the preceding context. This word underscores the continuity and fulfillment of prophecy, affirming that what is being discussed is not a new concept but a continuation of God's plan as revealed through the prophets.

all the prophets
This phrase highlights the collective testimony of the prophets throughout the Old Testament. The Greek word for "all" is "πάντες" (pantes), indicating inclusivity. The prophets were God's messengers, and their writings and proclamations were divinely inspired. This phrase suggests that the message of Jesus Christ and the events of the New Testament were not isolated incidents but were foretold by a multitude of prophets, showing the unity and consistency of God's revelation.

from Samuel on
Samuel is often considered the first of the prophets in the line of those who would anoint kings and speak directly to the nation of Israel. The mention of Samuel is significant because he represents a pivotal moment in Israel's history, transitioning from the period of the judges to the establishment of the monarchy. Samuel's role as a prophet set the stage for the prophetic tradition that would follow, emphasizing the continuity of God's message through history.

as many as have spoken
This phrase underscores the breadth of prophetic witness. The Greek phrase "ὅσοι ἐλάλησαν" (hosoi elalēsan) can be translated as "as many as have spoken," indicating that numerous prophets have contributed to the unfolding revelation of God's plan. This highlights the idea that the message of the coming Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom was a consistent theme throughout the prophetic writings.

have proclaimed
The Greek word "κατήγγειλαν" (katēngeilan) means "to proclaim" or "to announce." This verb conveys the idea of making a public declaration, emphasizing the role of the prophets as heralds of God's message. The use of this word suggests that the prophets were not merely predicting future events but were actively announcing God's plan and calling people to respond.

these days
The phrase "these days" refers to the time of the early church and the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the context of Acts, "these days" signifies the era of the New Covenant, inaugurated by Christ and continued through the work of the Holy Spirit. This phrase connects the prophetic tradition to the present reality of the church, affirming that the promises of God are being realized in the current age.

(24) All the prophets from Samuel.--Samuel is named, both as being the founder of the school of the prophets, and so the representative of the "goodly fellowship," and as having uttered one of the earliest of what were regarded as the distinctively Messianic predictions (2Samuel 7:13-14; Hebrews 1:5).

Verse 24. - Them that followed for those that follow, A.V.: they also told for have likewise foretold, A.V. From Samuel, etc. Samuel and οἱ καθεξῆς seems to denote what the Jews called "the former prophets" - the authors of the historical books. The whole phrase, therefore, comprehends "all the prophets" (of whom Samuel and οἱ καθεξῆς were the first), to whose testimony concerning himself our Lord appeals (Luke 24:27, 44).
