Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
What is this Gospel writer's distinct angle on Jesus?
Question 2
What is Jesus saying or doing — and how do witnesses react?
Question 3
What does this scene show me about the Kingdom?
The Gospel of Luke is the third of the New Testament's canonical Gospels. It tells of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Together with the Acts of the Apostles, it makes up a two-volume work called Luke–Acts, accounting for 27.5% of the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke shares the same author as the Acts of the Apostles.
