#### What is the Gospel of Luke about? ####
The Gospel of Luke is one of four books in the New Testament that describe some of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors of the gospels wrote about different aspects of who Jesus was and what he did. Luke wrote his gospel for a person named Theophilus. Luke wanted to write an accurate description of the life of Jesus so that Theophilus would be certain of what is true. However, Luke expected the gospel to encourage all believers, not just Theophilus.

#### Who wrote the Book of Luke? ####
This book does not give the readers the name of the author. The same person who wrote this book also wrote the Book of Acts. In parts of the Book of Acts, the author uses the word "we." This indicates that the author traveled with Paul. Most scholars think that Luke was this person traveling with Paul. Therefore, since early Christian times, most Christians have thought Luke was the author of the gospel and the Book of Acts.

Luke was a medical doctor. His way of writing shows that he was an educated man. He was probably a Gentile. Luke himself probably did not witness what Jesus said and did. But he said that he talked to many people who did.

#### What are the roles of women in the Gospel of Luke? ####
Luke described women in a very positive way in his gospel. For example, he often showed women being more faithful to God than most men. This is different than how most men at that time described women. Often, men did not value women in their society. For example, in ancient Israel, a judge would not consider a woman's testimony in court. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful]])

#### Why does Luke write so much about the final week of Jesus' life? ####
Luke wrote a lot about Jesus' final week. He wanted his readers to think deeply about Jesus' final week and his death on the cross. He wanted people to understand that Jesus willingly died on the cross so that God would forgive them for sinning against him. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

#### What are the Synoptic Gospels? ####
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the Synoptic Gospels because they share a large amount of textual material.
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the Synoptic Gospels because they have many similar passages. The word "synoptic" means to "see together."
The texts are considered "parallel" when they are the same or almost the same among two or three gospels. When these parallel passages are translated, the wording in the project language should be kept the same as much as possible.

#### Why does Jesus refer to himself as the "Son of Man"? ####
In the gospels, Jesus called himself the "Son of Man." It is a reference to Daniel 7:13-14. In this passage there is a person described as a "son of man." That means the person was someone who looked like a human being. God gave authority to the son of man to rule over the nations forever. And all the people worshiped him forever.

Jews of Jesus' time did not use "Son of Man" as a title for anyone. Therefore, Jesus used it for himself to help them understand who he truly was. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sonofman]])

Translators are advised not to translate these passages. However, if in the translators' region, there are older versions of the Bible that include one or more of these passages, the translators can include them. If they are translated, they should be put inside square brackets ([]) to indicate that they were probably not original to Luke's Gospel. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-textvariants]])
