Luke's account of Jesus' ministry can be divided into three major parts: (1) the events that occurred in and around Galilee ( 4:14 -- 9:50 ), (2) those that took place in Judea and Perea ( 9:51 -- 19:27 ), and (3) those of the final week in Jerusalem ( 19:28 -- 24:53 ).

Luke 1. Dedication to Theophilus. ( Acts 1:1–3) 1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write ...
The Gospel of Luke 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 which scholars call Luke–Acts, accounting for 27.5% of the New Testament. The combined work divides the history of first-century Christianity into three stages, with the gospel making up the first two of these – the ...

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE The Gospel according to Luke is the first part of a two-volume work that continues the biblical history of God’s dealings with humanity found in the Old Testament, showing how God’s promises to Israel have been fulfilled in Jesus and how the salvation promised to Israel and accomplished by Jesus has been extended to the Gentiles.
Luke. The book of Luke is another one of the earliest accounts of Jesus’ life, and it’s actually part 1 of a unified, two-volume work called Luke - Acts.
