Introduction
Author
This account about the works and teachings of Yeshua was written by Luke, one of the later followers of Yeshua. Luke was believed to be a medical doctor and although many have assumed him to be a Greek, there’s also a good case that he was Jewish. He was good friends with Paul and accompanied him several times as they travelled to various places to spread the good message about Yeshua the messiah. Luke was also the author of the account of the beginnings of the Christian church known commonly known as Acts, and unlike most other Bibles, the Open English Translation places these two successive accounts one after the other.
This account
This account was written to Theophilus who is said to be an honoured person from Rome. He starts his account with the prophesied birth of Yohan-the-immerser and then of Yeshua right through until he’s lifted into the clouds. Luke also explains how that Yeshua is the messiah promised by God to save Jews and all non-Jews who put their trust in him.
It’s also told here in this document about Yeshua’s mercy towards troubled people and sinners, his healing din of many who were sick or possessed by demons, his bringing dead people back to life, and his teaching. Recurring themes here include God’s spirit, prayer, forgiveness of sins, the women who helped Yeshua with his work, and how believers should prepare for his return.
