Commentary on Luke

The gospel of Luke was the first part of a two part work scholars call "Luke-Acts." It was the story of Jesus while Acts detailed the ministries of Peter and Paul in the early Church. Luke included sections of Mark's gospel, verses it shared with Matthew (not Mark), and exclusive material. It was written in a high class Greek but showed a concern for the poor and outcast.
