This is my presentation regarding the gospel according to St.Luke. Luke was a physician. He wrote the third book of the New Testament after Matthew and Mark

2.  The word ‘Gospel’ is from middle English
‘Godspell’, which means message of Christ or
simply Good news.
 The term "good news" refers to the story of
Jesus Christ's birth, death, and resurrection.

3.  Luke is first mentioned in the letters of Paul
as the latter’s “coworker” and as the
“beloved physician.”Paul is the author of
most books in the Holy Bible(13).
 The literary style of Luke’s writings and the
range of his vocabulary mark him as an
educated man. He was a physician.

4.  Messiah-
the promised deliverer or the leader of the
Jewish nation prophesied in the Hebrew
Bible.
 Prophet-A Prophet is a divinely ordained
messenger that serves as a leader in the
religion he is Prophet over. When a Prophet
appears, it means something significant
happened, is happening or about to happen.

5.  Original Sin:the tendency to evil supposedly
innate in all human beings, held to be
inherited from Adam in consequence of the
Fall.
 Baptism-From the root word ‘Baptiso’ which
means immersion. Baptism by water
(referred to as “John's baptism,” for John
the Baptist) is a ceremonial ritual signifying
cleansing of the body and mind to become
the Lord's temple. It signifies accepting Jesus
Christ as his/her God.

6.  Trinity:the three persons of the Christian
Godhead; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 Sabbath:a day of religious observance and
abstinence from work, kept by Jews from
Friday evening to Saturday evening, and by
most Christians on Sunday.
 Parable:a simple story used to illustrate a
moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in
the Gospels.

pierce her soul.

sentences Jesus to death
Caiaphas-Rends his garments
during the trial of Jesus
Zacchaeus-Short man who gives
away half his possessions
Angel Gabriel- Tells Zacharias
that he is going to be mute for
his unbelief.

9.  Roman Centurion- Calls Jesus the son of God
directly after Jesus dies
 Mary- Searches for Jesus and finds him in the
temple
 John the Baptist- The man who baptized
Jesus

10.  With 80 verses, it is one of the longest
chapters in the New Testament.

to the birth of Jesus.
 Angelic visitation to Zechariah.
 He became mute as he didn’t believe the

had said to them. The baby is named Jesus,
as instructed by the angel before His
conception.

12.  John the Baptist, is preaching and baptizing
people in the country. He urges them to “bring
forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance.” He
also tells them to give alms to the poor and not
tax people more than they owe. John also tells
the soldiers to “do no more violence, accuse no
man falsely and be content with your wages.”
 When Jesus himself comes to be baptized by
John, This happens, “the Holy Ghost descended
in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a
voice came from heaven which said ‘Thou art my
beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.'”

13.  Temptation of Jesus:He was told by the devil

spirits. He also heals Peter’s mother in law.

14.  Jesus instructs Peter to lower the nets into the
water. Almost immediately the nets were filled
with fish.
 Simon Peter, James and John saw the
supernatural in this circumstance. They left their
nets and followed Jesus.
 Next, Jesus heals a leper. Friends of a paralyzed
man lower him down the roof because of the
crowd.
 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him,
Man, thy sins are forgiven to thee.
 The Scribes and Pharisees accuse Jesus of
blasphemy.

15.  Jesus’ disciples worked on Sabbath. The
Pharisees found fault. Jesus says he is lord
even of Sabbath. Jesus healed a man on
Sabbath. Again, they find fault. Jesus replies
that it is lawful to good on any day.
 He calls twelve people as his disciples:Simon,
Andrew, James, John, Barthalomew, Mathew,
Thomas, James, Judas, Judas Iscariot,Simon,
Philip.
 Next, he delivers the sermon on the mount.

you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall

Jesus has the power to cast out demons because
he is working with Beelzebub of the demonic
world. Jesus speaks common sense as to how a
kingdom divided against itself will stand.
 The people also ask for a sign. He says only
Jonah’s sign will be given.

21.  His disciples are warned not to have any fear of
persecution from the hypocritical Pharisees. The only
fear that they should have is of the most high God,
for He has the power to send souls into the pits of
hell.
 Jesus continues to teach his disciples that those who
are willing to confess their love of the Lord will be
blessed. However, the opposite is also true in that
those that deny the power of the Lord will be

journey. He sent three servants to the vineyard to collect
produce from the tenants. The tenants beat up each servant and

son thinking that the inheritance will be theirs.
