abstract:The Gospel According to Luke (, to kata Loukan euangelion), commonly shortened to the Gospel of Luke or simply Luke, is the third and longest of the four Gospels. This synoptic gospel is an account of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.
We're at still very early in theGospelcompared to what the rest of it is,and yet,what Luke is doing is turning your attention as a reader now to Jerusalem.
Consider the account in Luke's gospel about two disciples of Jesus, just days after his crucifixion, fleeing Jerusalem for their home in nearby Emmaus.
