Chapter 5
GLuke and Acts are two consecutive volumes by the same author who is technically
anonymous
Church tradition states that Luke the friend of Paul is the author, largely based on the we
section of Acts.
Luke was a doctor and a gentile.
GLuke and Acts were addressed to Theophilus, an otherwise unknown Roman official.
GLuke begins with infancy narratives describing the birth of John the Baptist and then Jesus.
Jesus is miraculously born to a peasant couple from Nazareth who are in Bethlehem due to a
roman census.
The infancy narratives include several hymns celebrating God’s blessing and favor.
After Jesus’ baptism and temptations, GLuke describes Jesus’ inaugural sermon in the
synagogue of Nazareth.
Luke records Jesus’ sermon on the plain.
In the sermon on the plain, beatitudes utter blessings.
These blessings are uttered onto the poor.
Beatitudes curse the rich and satisfied.
In GLuke much of Jesus’ teachings are found on his journey to Jerusalem.
Much of this peripatetic material is unique to GLuke and takes special interest in the outcasts
of society, such as gentiles, Samaritans, lepers, tax collectors, sinners, the poor, and others in
Gods kingdom.
GLuke emphasizes a great reversal in society in which the last will be first and the first last.
To illustrate love for neighbor records the parable of the good Samaritan in which a despised
Samaritan helps out a man in desperate need.
Luke chapter 15 records three parables in the context of Jesus eating with tax collectors and
sinners.
The parable of the prodigal son is a two-part story in which at first a wayward son is
welcomes back home by his gracious father and then an embittered son is rebuked.
Zacchaeus was the tax collector in Jericho.
The innocence of Jesus is declared three times by Pilate and by the centurion.
