The evangelist, Luke, begins his "orderly account" with the following statement: . 1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very ...
Mark and Q account for about 64% of Luke; the remaining material, known as the L source, is of unknown origin and date. [31] Most Q and L-source material is grouped in two clusters, Luke 6:17–8:3 and 9:51–18:14, and L-source material forms the first two sections of the gospel (the preface and infancy and childhood narratives). [32]
Luke 1:1–4, drawing on historical investigation, identified the work to the readers as belonging to the genre of history. [42] There is disagreement about how best to treat Luke's writings, with some historians regarding Luke as highly accurate, [ 43 ] [ 44 ] and others taking a more critical approach.
The material in L, like that in M, probably comes from the oral tradition. [1] I. Howard Marshall (1994) stated: "Luke rightly regarded these sources as reliable". [3] James R. Edwards (2009) equated the L source with the Hebrew Gospel referred to by patristic authors. [4] His thesis has not been accepted by other scholars. [5] [6] [7]
Gabriel only appears by name in those two passages in Luke. In the first passage the angel identified himself as Gabriel, but in the second it is Luke who identified him as Gabriel. The only other named angels in the New Testament are Michael the Archangel (in Jude 1:9) and Abaddon (in Revelation 9:11).
Over three-quarters of Mark's content is found in both Matthew and Luke, and 97% of Mark is found in at least one of the other two synoptic gospels. Additionally, Matthew (24%) and Luke (23%) have material in common that is not found in Mark. [1] The calming of the storm is recounted in each of the three synoptic gospels, but not in John.
Luke 5:1–11 includes the first Miraculous draught of fishes episode in which Jesus tells Peter, ... Mark 14:22–25, Luke 22:19–20 during the last supper, Jesus ...
The name "Acts of the Apostles" was first used by Irenaeus in the late 2nd century. It is not known whether this was an existing name for the book or one invented by Irenaeus; it does seem clear that it was not given by the author, as the word práxeis (deeds, acts) only appears once in the text (Acts 19:18) and there it refers not to the apostles but to deeds confessed by their followers.
