1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been
fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses
and servants of the word. 3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the
beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent
Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who
belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a
daughter of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking
blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord. 7 But they had
no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

8 One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord
and burn incense. 10 And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.

I am happy to join with your discussion of the Gospel of Luke. Here is an initial submission of my thoughts on the Gospel of Luke:

In telling us the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, Luke’s Gospel is also a work of history, written down after careful investigation and on the basis of eyewitnesses and other reliable sources (1:1–3). Moreover, it is a work of theology, written so that readers may know that the teachings of Christianity are true (1:4): Jesus Christ is indeed Savior, Messiah, Lord, and Son of God (1:35; 2:11). Luke’s Gospel is all these things, and it is also divinely inspired, communicating to us what God wanted written for the sake of our salvation.

Background info on the Gospel of Luke:

Authorship

The titles found at the beginning or end of the earliest extant manuscripts of the
Gospel, including Papyrus 75, dated by scholars to around AD 200, attribute
the work to “Luke.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_75

The Gospel of Luke
Background info:

Luke, was Paul’s follower and set down in a book the Gospel that was preached by Paul. Among modern scholars it is also accepted that Luke also wrote the Acts of the Apostles and that Luke even accompanied Paul on some of his journeys, which he indicated by writing in the first-person plural, the so-called “we” sections (Acts 16:10–17; 20:5–15; 21:1–18; 27:1–28:16).3


In Paul’s letters that mention Luke, one saying that Luke is with him (2 Tim 4:11) and one describing him as “the beloved physician” (Col 4:14). There is also a third (Philem 24), in which Luke is described as one of Paul’s fellow workers.

A little background on Luke, who is Luke:

Of interest is the question of Luke’s ethnic background. Although it is often assumed that Luke was a Gentile, scholarly opinion on this question is actually divided,11 and there is little support that he was a Gentile.

The main argument for considering Luke to be a Gentile comes from Colossians, where Luke (Col 4:14) is not included in the list of those like Mark “who are of the circumcision” (4:11). This is often interpreted as saying that Mark is Jewish and Luke is Gentile, but the phrase “of the circumcision” may instead refer to a subset of Jewish Christians—namely, the strict faction that was typically uncooperative with Paul (Gal 2:12). Paul would then be saying that from among this group, only a few, like Mark, are his coworkers.13 Luke did not belong to this group, but could still have been Jewish.

Indeed, Luke’s extensive knowledge of the Old Testament and interest in the Jerusalem temple and Jewish priesthood suggest that he was Jewish. His good command of Greek is well explained if he was a Hellenistic Jew. Luke may thus have been like Paul, a Jew whose ministry was largely to the Gentiles. Likewise, his Gospel was probably written mainly for Gentile Christians. Historical Context Scholars who hold that Luke was indeed Paul’s coworker (in the 50s AD) gen

Here is my take/understanding of the first chapter of Luke:

Luke introduces himself and explains his intentions of writing the truth of Jesus' Gospel.

LUKE CHAPTER 1

God the Father sets in to motion His plan of salvation for the world. He sends the angel Gabriel to Zacharias and announces that he and Elizabeth will have a son and that they shall name him John. Elizabeth was considered barren but, despite her advanced age, she became pregnant. Of course, her child would become John the Baptist.

Around six months later, the same angel Gabriel visited Mary and announced that she would conceive with the Holy Spirit, 'The Son of the Most High', Jesus. Mary graciously accepts.

Mary visits Elizabeth and something very important happened. The babe in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy when Mary visited, pregnant with Jesus. Elizabeth exclaimed, " Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!"

One truth that strikes me as important is that the babe, John, leapt with joy. Notice that the bible refers to John as a babe, not an embryo. This lays in stone the fact that a human being is a human being at the start of life/conception.

Luke Chapter 2

In this chapter there are many events. Of course, the most important event is the birth of Jesus. The world has been given a Savior.

My key takeaways from this chapter are:

1. Note how Jesus came into the world. There was no place at the Inn, where respectable people were welcomed. Jesus was rejected from society and born in a stable. You see all of these nativity scenes where everything is warm and comfortable. But in reality, a stable is a cold and smelly place, one of the filthiest places in which a child could be born. Jesus bed was a manger, a feeding trough for animals.

2. Jesus’ life and death parallel each. He came into the world in a stranger’s stable/cave and He was buried in a stranger’s tomb/cave.

3. When Jesus was born, it was the common, simple, and uneducated people that God called to visit. It was shepherds that God told of Jesus birth. The announcement of Jesus’ birth to the shepherds is in keeping with Luke’s theme that the lowly are singled out as the recipients of God’s favors and blessings. The basic message of the infancy narrative is contained in the
angel’s announcement: this child is savior, Messiah, and Lord. Luke is the only synoptic gospel writer to use the title savior for Jesus. As savior, Jesus is looked upon by Luke as the one who rescues humanity from sin and delivers humanity from the condition of alienation from God. The title christos, “Christ,” is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew māšîaḥ, “Messiah,” “anointed one.”

4.. Jesus followed the Jewish religious teachings/customs as he was presented/circumcised in the Temple and would later be found in the temple, as a young boy, teaching others. This story’s concern with an incident from Jesus’ youth is unique in the canonical gospel tradition. It presents Jesus in the role of the faithful Jewish boy, raised in the traditions of Israel, and fulfilling all that the law requires. With this episode, the infancy narrative ends just as it began, in the setting of the Jerusalem temple. Jesus said, “I must be in my Father’s house: this phrase can also be translated, “I must be about my Father’s work.”

5. Jesus honored His Father and Mother. After they found Jesus in the Temple, He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
