There are a number of things which could fit into this category as they are major features.

One key characteristic could well be that of the way Luke stresses that Jesus was the

Saviour not just of the Jews but of the whole world.

32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. As the Saviour of the whole world, Jesus is presented by Luke as showing compassion and care for many who were otherwise looked down on such as the poor, outcasts and women. Jesus saving work is one in which He thus stoops to show compassion to sinful men.

Which synoptic Gospel can be said to have a sequel?

Luke


Which gospel gave the first account of the nativity?

Since Matthew's Gospel was written up to twenty years before Luke's Gospel, Matthew's account would have been first. However, we know that the author of Luke's Gospel knew nothing of Matthew's Gospel, and so could not harmonise his account with that of Matthew. This is why the two accounts are so completely different.


When did Saint Luke the gospel writer die?

The Gospel was originally written anonymously and was only attributed by the Church Fathers to Luke, the companion of Paul, towards the end of the second century. However, there are strong reasons for believing that the gospel writer was not Luke, the companion of Paul. For this reason, 'Luke' the gospel writer (Luke the evangelist) should not be confused with Luke the companion of the apostle Paul.The same author wrote both the Gospel According to Lukeand Acts of the Apostles. Since Acts is believed to have been written early in the second century, then its author must have died some time afterwards, during the first part of the second century.Roman Catholic AnswerThis is from the Catholic Encyclopedia article: After St. Paul's martyrdom practically all that is known about him is contained in the ancient "Prefatio vel Argumentum Luc ", dating back to Julius Africanus, who was born about A.D. 165. This states that he was unmarried, that he wrote the Gospel, in Achaia, and that he died at the age of seventy-four in Bithynia(probably a copyist's error for B otia), filled with the Holy Ghost. Epiphanius has it that he preached in Dalmatia (where there is a tradition to that effect), Gallia (Galatia?), Italy, and Macedonia. As an Evangelist, he must have suffered much for the Faith, but it is controverted whether he actually died a martyr's death. St. Jerome writes of him (De Vir. III., vii). "Sepultus est Constantinopoli, ad quam urbem vigesimo Constantii anno, ossa ejus cum reliquiis Andre Apostoli translata sunt [de Achaia?]."so we do not know the date, as we do not know anything about his early life, much less his birthdate.


What were the 3 temptations in the desert for Jesus?

A:The three temptations in the wilderness are not in Mark's Gospel, but came into the Gospels of Matthew and Luke from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Although using the same source document, the two authors recorded two of the temptations in different sequences. Matthew's Gospel says that the devil first tried to tempt Jesus to turn a stone into bread, then took Jesus up to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem, and then to a high mountain in order to tempt him. Luke's Gospel says that the devil tried to tempt Jesus to turn a stone into bread, then took Jesus up to a high mountain in order to tempt him, and then to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem.
