Using late 2013 iMac as monitor for 2019 MacBook Pro

Is it possible to use my late 2013 iMac as a monitor for MacBook Pro? Just not sure of the whole setup as I don't see anything specific with the lightning cables the new MacBook Pro has.

Hi,

If your iMac is 27inch, you can use iMac as external monitor for your MacBook Pro via USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and Thunderbolt cable.
