Question

Why does Luke research what happened and write about Jesus’ life as well?

Answer 1

Explanation:Having carefully investigated the eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life and ministry, Luke is writing an “orderly” (well organized) account so that his readers “may know the certainty” of the things they have been taught. The prologue shows that Luke's purpose is both historical and theological.Luke depictsJesus in his short-lived ministry as deeply compassionate — caring for the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized of that culture, such as Samaritans, Gentiles, and women. Whereas Matthew traces Jesus' genealogy to Abraham, father of the Jewish people, Luke goes back to Adam, parent of us all.
