The Gospel of Luke
Luke, Gentile Physician and companion of Paul wrote this Gospel in the mid 60's A.D. Luke wrote both the Gospel of Luke and Acts making him the largest contributor to the New Testament. These writings both begin with dedications to Theophilus, perhaps a potential or recent convert or patron who sponsored the circulation of Luke and Acts. The third Gospel presents Jesus as the Son of Man. The first three chapters and the beginning of the fourth give us the entrance of the Lord into the race, beginning with his genealogy; how he was born and made one of us. Then chapters four through nineteen trace for us the first part of his ministry among men, and especially, his journey toward Jerusalem, with the final chapters dedicated to the last days of sacrifice and triumph.Luke's historical narrative begins as follows: With the birth of Zechariah and Elizabeth's child, John. Elizabeth was barren, she and Zechariah were well along in years but Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah saying, "Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you are to give him the name John and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit." Zechariah questioned the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man a
While imprisoned the guards mocked and beat Jesus. " The people sneered at Jesus, the soldiers mocked him by offering him wine vinegar. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. After the supper questions arose from the disciples who would be the one to betray Jesus. The crowd numbered around five thousand and He fed them with two fish and five loaves of bread. When they presented Jesus to Pilate he could find no basis for the charges brought against him. He told his disciples not to worry but to be watchful. " When Jesus made his virginal entrance into the world, the shepherds were visited by an angel telling them the Savior had been born and they could find him wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger in the town of David. He spoke about good trees not bearing bad fruit. The ministry of Jesus was a fulfillment of law. Some years later, John son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, was preparing the way by preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.
