  4. Written for Gentiles • “And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee”(4:31) • “He…spent the night on the mount that is called Olivet”(21:37) • “Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover” (22:1) • “…village named Emmaus, which is about seven miles from Jerusalem”(24:13)

  5. Written for Gentiles • Traced genealogy to Adam rather than stopping at Abraham (3:23-38) • Referred to Roman emperors in identifying dates of Jesus’ birth (2:1) • Used Septuagint when quoting from OT. • Records 35 parables in a 24 chapter book. • Alongside Hebrews, has the highest level of Greek of any NT book.

  6. Who is Luke Written To? “It seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order,most excellent Theophilus” - Luke 1:3

  7. “Most Excellent Theophilus” • “Friend of God”? • Person of “Eminent Quality at Alexandria” • High Priest/Sadducee? • Roman Official?

  8. Jesus Turns Toward Jerusalem Luke 1 Luke 24 Luke 9:51 “And it came about, when the days were approaching for His ascension, that He resolutely set His face to go to Jerusalem” - Luke 9:51

  9. Quick Facts About Luke • 1,151 Verses, longest Gospel.When combined with Acts, Luke’s 2,158 verses account for 27% of the New Testament. • Only mention of Jesus’ “sweat as drops of blood” in Gethsemane (22:39-44). • Gives (by far) the most detail on Jesus’ early life and announcement by angels. • Luke specializes in showing God’s love for the broken and forsaken.

  10. “Having Investigated Everything…” “Luke is a historian of the first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy, he is possessed of the true historic sense…in short, this author should be placed along with the greatest of historians.” - Sir William Mitchell Ramsey (1851-1939)

  11. “Having Investigated Everything…” "For accuracy of detail, and for evocation of atmosphere, Luke stands, in fact, with Thucydides. The Acts of the Apostles is not shoddy product of pious imagining, but a trustworthy record... it was the spadework of archaeology which first revealed the truth.” - E.M. Blaiklock, 1903-1983

  12. “Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word have handed them down to us, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you might know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.” - Luke 1:1-4
