Luke's gospel (Luke 1:3) and Acts of the Apostles (Acts 1:1).
Dr Luke addressed Acts to Theophilus.
The Greek name Theophilus is mentioned only twice: in the prologues of Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles, where the author dedicates the books to Theophilus. Ancient writers sometimes dedicated their works to a patron, but it was unusual to dedicate such short works as either the Gospel or Acts. Some say that Theophilus ("Loved by God") was really a transvaluation of the name Epaphroditus ("Touched by Aphrodite"), to whom the Jewish historian Josephus dedicated Antiquities of the Jews in 93 CE.
