• Believed to have been written in Caesarea, between mid 50’s – 60’s AD • 3rd gospel written – after Mark & Matthew • Existed as two parts: Luke 1 & 2 (Gospel & Book of Acts) • Last event of Acts: Paul’s 1st Roman imprisonment – therefore Acts written no earlier than 62 AD, with Luke’s Gospel written before that • New Testament written within 1 lifetime – while eye-witnesses were all alive … No mention of Jewish revolt against Romans in 66 AD, No mention of the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD
• A physician from Antioc • Authenticated historian, writer • An uncircumcised Gentile – the only one to write a NT book! • Luke - only gospel to have been written by a follower that did not know Jesus during His earthly ministry • He states that he is NOT an eye-witness, but rather, ‘followed up all things carefully’ 1:3
• Present with Paul, using ‘we’ - Acts 16:10-17; 20:5-15; 21:1-18; 27:1 – 28:16 • Luke & Mark together with Paul – 2 Tim 4:11 & Philemon vs 24 (nearly 70% of NT from these 3 men) • A late convert to Christ – perhaps by Paul, may have been treating Paul’s eye problem • Luke eventually settled in Philippi – ministering at the church there
The Audience • Sponsored by, & written to Theophilus ( Lover of God ) – a high official • Only gospel addressed to an individual • Written for a Roman / Greek audience • Possibly written for support for Paul’s appeal to Caesar – which would require a historical written account - Uprisings are always Jews – not the Romans - Centurions are always portrayed as the good guys • Genealogy is for every man – traces bloodline back to Adam
H.A. Ironside: The Audience “The religion of Israel could only produce a Pharisee; The power of Rome could only produce only a Caesar; The philosophy of Greece could only produce an Alexander, an infant at heart; It was to this Greek mind that Luke wrote: he presents Jesus Christ as the Perfect Man, the Universal Man, the very person the Greeks were looking for.”
Writing Style • Presents Jesus not as much as the Jewish Messiah – but more as the Savior of the whole world • A light to the Gentiles 2:32 • Seek and save the lost 19:10 • Preached to all nations 24:47 • The most complete narrative, broader in scope than the other three – with an extensive Greek vocabulary • Over 23 parables (18 unique) • Over 20 miracles (with 6 unique) • Longest of the 4 gospels – gives the most complete portrait of Jesus
Writing Style • Jesus is the healer – with a personal, compassionate touch • More mention of healing than Matthew & Mark - combined • Used more medical terms than Hippocrates (Father of Medicine) • Included obstetrical details of the Nativity
What’s unique? • One-third of Luke is unique • Luke & Acts - the only details about the Ascension • Unique to Luke: Jesus grew in wisdom? 2:52 • Jesus’ circumcision • Dedication • Early childhood • Visit to the Temple at 12 years old
What’s unique? • Jesus taught extensively on prayer: • Pharisee & tax collector 18:9-19 • Persistent friend 11:5-10 • Persistent widow 18:1-8 • More references to prayer than other gospels • More references to Jesus’ own prayer life • 7x - not found in other gospels
Luke 4:17-21 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “ The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; Isaiah He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, 61:1-2 To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord .” Jesus stops reading abruptly … leaving out: and the day of vengeance of our God Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” They became filled with wrath & attempt to throw him off a cliff … He walks right through them (4:28-30)
If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Luke 11:11-13
