The Gospel of Luke
Written by Luke (in Caesarea or Rome), c. AD 60
Luke wrote his gospel to compile an account of the life and ministry of Jesus to show that He was the incarnate Son of God who became the son of man, and although He is the Messiah for Israel, He came with a global offer of salvation to provide a way for any to enter the Kingdom of God.
Chapter 1:1—4:13 Jesus’ Relationship with Man is World-Wide
Throughout this entire section, whether at the birth announcement or upon His baptism, Jesus is declared to be one who has come to save “all peoples” of the earth.
Chapter 4:14—9:50 Jesus’ Ministry is Global
Compared with the other Gospel accounts, Luke records Jesus’ visit to “other cities” in Galilee (5:12), and beyond “from one city and village to another” (8:1). This global perspective is verified in His explanation of the Gentile Centurion’s response, “not even in Israel have I found such great faith” (7:9).
Chapter 9:51—19:27 Jesus’ Global Ministry Climaxes in Jerusalem
This major didactic section of Luke’s gospel records Christ’s teaching concerning the coming kingdom. The section begins with the sending of the 70 to proclaim the message (chapter 10) and ends with the reminder that regardless of position, the Kingdom of God is available to everyone -- by faith (19:1-27).
Chapter 19:28—23:56 The Condemnation of Jesus has Universal Efficacy
This section records the arrest, trials, and crucifixion of Jesus, and through the lips of the Gentile Centurion, Luke affirms the Savior’s innocence to the world.
Chapter 24:1-53 Victory for Any by Jesus
Affirming the angel’s announcement to the shepherds (2:10-11), the resurrected Jesus instructs His disciples that “forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations.” His salvation is sufficient for any who believe.
Quine's View of the Key Verse: Luke 2:10-11
“And the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’”

The Gospel of Matthew - an astonishing message!
Chapters 1—4 Early Life and Ministry of Jesus
The genealogy (from Abraham-David-Captivity-Jesus) confirms Jesus as the promised King. The announcement to Joseph identifies the Child as the one who brings salvation. In His baptism, not only is He identified with John’s message of repentance, but is anointed (as kings were) by the Spirit. Even in temptation He remains noble.
Chapters 5—9 The King Proclaims His Standards; Reveals His Authority
The King offers a heightened standard—one of nobility (5:1-16); an internal (not only demonstrable) focus; a gallant lifestyle (6:1—7:12). Jesus then invites all to be citizens of the Kingdom (7:13-29). Punctuating his invitation, He heals the clean and unclean (8:1-22), commands the natural and supernatural (8:23—9:17), and restores life, sight, and sound (9:18-38). His claim to forgive sin is clearly of God.
Chapters 10:1—16:12 The King and His Kingdom Offer is Rejected
Even though rejected and accused of being empowered by Satan (10:1--11:1), the King still extends peace and rest to those burdened by an oppressive religious system (11:28-30). Through parables, Jesus explains to the disciples God’s new administration.
Chapters 16:13—20:28 The King Reveals Himself to the Disciples
After explaining that He must die, Jesus reveals His transfigured glorious state to three disciples (16—17). He institutes administrative (church discipline) and lifestyle changes (divorce, rewards) applicable in the new administration (18—20).
Chapters 20:29—25:46 The King’s Presentation and Predictions
The King rides into His city; is rejected by the people; is challenged by the leaders. After announcing judgment upon Israel, Jesus responds to the disciple’s questions, explaining events and circumstances leading to His return.
Chapters 26—28 The King’s Passion to the Cross and Resurrection
The trials and crucifixion demonstrate the King’s Messianic service to His people. Yet, it is not in death but in His resurrection that His claim as King is validated. He sends the disciples to preach the Kingdom message to the world.
Key Verse: Matthew 11:28—30
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls, for My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”
