Scofield Reference Notes: Book Introduction to the Gospel According to
St. LUKE
Writer. The writer of the third Gospel is called by Paul "the beloved
physician"
# Col 4:14
and, as we learn from the Acts, was Paul's frequent companion. He was
of Jewish ancestry, but his correct Greek marks him as a Jew of the
dispersion. Tradition says that he was a Jew of Antioch, as Paul was
of Tarsus.
Date. The date of Luke falls between A.D. 63 and 68.
Theme. Luke is the Gospel of the human-divine One, as John is of the
divine-human One. The key-phrase is "Son of man," and the key-verse
# Lu 19:10
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
lost." In harmony with this intent, Luke relates those things concerning
Jesus which demonstrate how entirely human He was. His genealogy is traced
to Adam, and the most detailed account is given of His mother, and of His
infancy and boyhood. The parables peculiar to Luke have distinctively the
human and the seeking note. But Luke is careful to guard the Deity and
Kingship of Jesus Christ
# Lu 1:32-35
Luke, then, is the Gospel of "the man whose name is The BRANCH"
# Zec 6:12
Luke has seven chief divisions: I. The Evangelist's Introduction, 1.1-4.
II. The human relationships of Jesus, 1.5-2.52. III. The baptism,
ancestry, and testing of Jesus, 3.1-4.13. IV. The ministry of the Son of
man as Prophet-King in Galilee, 4.14-9.50. V. The final offer of the Son
of man as King to israel, His rejection and sacrifice, 19.45-23.56. VII.
The resurrection, resurrection ministry, and ascension of the Son of man,
24.1-53.
The events recorded in this book cover a period of 39 years.

[1] {from}
"From the very first": Gr. anothen, "from above." So translated in
# Joh 3:31 19:11 Jas 1:17 3:15,17
In no other place is \\ANOTHEN\\ translated "from the very first."
The use by Luke of \\anothen\\ is an affirmation that
his knowledge of these things, derived from those who had been
eye-witnesses from the beginning
# Lu 1:2
was confirmed by revelation. In like manner Paul had doubtless heard
from the eleven the story of the institution of the Lord's Supper, but
he also had it by revelation from the Lord (cf)
# 1Co 11:23
and his writing, like Luke's \\anothen\\ knowledge, thus became
first-hand, not traditional, merely.
