Dedication to Theophilus 1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you […]

When did Luke visit Israel to interview the eyewitnesses for his Gospel?

Answered by BibleQ . July 3, 2021 - 5:24 pm

In Luke 1:2 Luke tells Theophilus that he has recorded the account of eyewitnesses for his account. This is significant in that Luke’s mentor Paul was not himself an eyewitness – as far as we know – of any of the events in the Gospel of Luke. 1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile […]

We can not be certain where Jairus lived. In Luke 7:1, Jesus enters Capernaum, and the next day he goes to Nain (v11). Later on in Luke 8:22 he crosses the Sea of Galilee to the country of the Gadarenes (v26) and then later “returned”, which is where he meets Jairus (v40-41). So it is […]

The Bible does not reveal Luke’s nationality. He probably lived in Troas (judging from the switch to personal pronouns in Acts 16:8-10). However, there is an early tradition that he was a native of Antioch in Syria. There were large Jewish populations in both cities, and much of the Roman world, so neither is a […]

Did Luke, the writer of the Gospel, ever see or know Jesus personally?

Answered by BibleQ . December 13, 2010 - 7:49 am

We can’t be sure, but it is unlikely that Luke saw Jesus personally. There’s no information in the Bible to suggest that he did. However, every Christian claims to know Jesus personally, to some degree (in fact, knowing God and Jesus is a vital part of a Christian’s life: John 17:3). Obviously, when Jesus returns […]
