General Overview: Luke’s Purpose and
Person
![Page 5: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A Narrative in SequenceSince many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us, I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you have received. Luke 1:1-4
!
In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up … Acts 1:1,2

Luke, A Companion of Paul
• Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers (Phlm 23-24)
• Luke, the beloved physician, sends greetings, as does Demas (Col 4:14)
• Luke is the only one with me. Get Mark, and bring him with you for he is helpful to me in the ministry (2 Tim 4:11)
![Page 7: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Luke, An Eyewitness• “We Passages” of Acts (16:10-17; 20:5-15;
21:1-18, 27:1 - 28:16)
• “When he had seen the vision, we sought passage to Macedonia …
• “We sailed from Philippi after the feast of Unleavened Bread”
• “When we had taken leave of them, we set sail …”
• No use/mention of Paul’s letters

Luke’s Original Contribution
Connection of events in the early Church to those of Jesus’ ministry to the story of
humanity all the way back to Adam

Literary Considerations
• Parallelism
• Prophecy Fulfillment
• Geography
![Page 10: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Parallelism
• In a verse:
A bad wife is like a chafing yoke …
Taking hold of her is like grasping a scorpion.
(Sirach 26:7)
![Page 11: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Parallelism• In a stanza:
Happy is the husband of a good wife …
(Attributes of a good wife listed) …
Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
(Sirach 26:1 - 4)
![Page 12: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ParallelismCan also be used to match persons and events in different parts of the narrative, as with Mary.
At the Annunciation: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. (Lk 1:35)
At Pentecost: And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind … tongues as of fire … came to rest on each one of them. (Acts 2:1-4)
![Page 13: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prophecy
• Fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy
• Statements within the narrative itself
• Jesus predicts His Passion (Lk 9:21,44 and 18:32-33)
• Prediction is fulfilled in 24:6-8, 44
![Page 14: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Luke’s Use of Geography
• Geographic pivot point of Luke-Acts - Jerusalem
• Middle 12 chapters are there
• Gospel: Action moves toward Jerusalem
• Acts: Action moves away from Jerusalem
![Page 15: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Jesus Resuscitates the Widow’s Son at Nain
(Luke 7:11-17)
![Page 16: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Parallelism
• Jesus’ Resuscitation of Lk 7:11-17
• Peter’s Resuscitation of Dorcas in Acts 9:36-43
• Paul’s Resuscitation of Eutychus in Acts 20:7-12
![Page 17: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prophecy Fulfillment

![Page 18: Healing in Luke Acts › 5088... · Luke, A Companion of Paul • Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, as well as Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060409/5f100d977e708231d4473647/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Lexio Divina
A reflective reading of Scripture or another spiritual text in which we listen more deeply to God. It is spiritual reading at the service of prayer. Union with God is its goal.

Four Attitudes of Lexio• Reverence in Reading
• Focus: letting our minds rest attentively with the text
• Compunction: a sincere love for God and sorrow for our sins
• Openness to doing God’s will
