- This remarkable disciple wrote both the gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. But what was the purpose of these two interesting volumes? (to use Lukes words).
Who was the mysterious Theophilus?
This extraordinary follower of Jesus lived into his eighties and died a hero of our faith.

The end of this video had me in tears. I pray continually that Jesus Christ will give me the strength to not deny Him and remain as faithful to Him as He has been to me. I have only been a follower of "The Way" for 3 and half years. Imagine then the love Luke and Polycarp must have had for our Messiah, serving Him faithfully for so long. It makes me look forward to growing in my own faith in Christ. I pray God has mercy on me and helps me to endure unto the Last Day. These videos are a blessing to me. Praise God.
Your love for God and his word shines through and will hold you in good stead. Thanks for your comments. D
I thought you meant laughing, but then I realized this was an actual Christian video. So I had to move along…
When I read the New testament for the first time. It was the book of Luke that I loved best.
Thankyou for the splendid insights into Our Most Excellent St Luke ❤️🩹🙏
You are welcome Kim
I LOVE, _LOVE_ , *LOVE* this exegesis on one of my favorite apostolic characters. I was hunting for some expositions on the life of Biblical heroes, and "stumbled" across yours. Thank you for humbly shedding so much light on this unselfish man of God. I have subscribed and "liked" your presentation.
Thank you for your very kind words. Glad you enjoyed. Dave
@Dave Rebbettes For some reason l didn't care for Luke or Paul as much as l loved the original 11 disciples; particularly Peter. But after study and prayer l learned to appreciate them so much more now. Luke, the great apologist, writing a defense for the gospel, had to be precise on behalf of the great missionaries of which he was a team member. And you shed more light on the subject. God bless you.
Thanks for a great addition to my study of Luke today.
You’re very welcome.
Wow. You are so good at this. Like a boy sitting indian style on the living room floor as the adults told stories drinking beer on Saturday nights. I was wide eyed and all ears. Hanging on every word. Especially stories never heard. Can't wait to listen again Dave. Outstanding at story telling you are. Bet your kids looked forward to bed time and you telling a story. Lol
Ha ha, that made me smile. Thanks for the kind words MS.
Just started reading the book of Luke and wanted to find some background on him and found this video. Really amazed by the life of our brother and by the simplicity yet profound way of describing every bit of it by the brother. God bless you my friend.
Thanks for your kind words Omar
New subscriber here! 🙋🏽♀️I’m expecting and I believe I am having a son as I had a dream that I would… I would like to name him Luke. I’m a Christian and believe strongly in our Lord Jesus Christ, however I’m just getting back into reading my bible since I’ve been out of church for quite sometime … I needed more knowledge on Luke and I’ve been blessed to come across your channel.
Did God give you a son?
@@kiminredbluff Yes , I just found out the gender through a lab test and it’s definitely a boy!!!!
I really enjoyed this. I shall try and watch some of the others at some point. It does help that you refer to the late David Pawson, one of my favourite preachers. I'm doing a sermon on the life of Luke and this is a good foundation. Thank you.
Thanks Wayne. David and I lived close to each other and were great friends. I miss him very much.
May God bless you for this. Such a loving and heartfelt telling of Luke's story. More than I could have asked for. Like and subscribe, you say? With gratitude. 🙏
Thanks for your kind words Michael. Dave
I'm a Roman Catholic priest and I found this extremely interesting! Keep making videos. I might recommend putting your face in your thumbnails, it often helps with views/engagement when people see a person, especially with so much fake AI stuff out there. Just a tip!
Thank you David for your encouragement and helpful comments
What wonderful insights of our dear St Luke carer to St Paul and vital connection in the telling of the life of Jesus he indeed is one of our beloved signposts along "the way " ❤️🔥🙏
Thanks Kim

Thanks Tricia
A beautiful re-telling of those who lived, and died for, their faith. Thank you.
You’re very welcome.
What an expository documentary on Doctor Luke. I have been richly blessed with this.
I'm delighted to hear that
Great video. Sir, your tone, pace and utter respect for The Word of God, biblical wisdom and how you've researched, shines through each word you speak. Thank you for making this video. God Bless you 🙏🏽
Thanks for your very kind words Tony

Thanks so much for your comment
Beautiful presentation! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your kind words.
Excellent!!!
Thanks Joseph
Thankyou for this. I had wondered why Acts ended as it did.
You're welcome :)
Wow! Wonderful video! Out of all the gospels Luke stood of to me the most and it’s my favourite book. Maybe because I have dreams of becoming a physician
Thanks for your kind comment Abigail
I can't wait until you do the next video on a bible character. You're correct, it brings the bible to life. May God bless you in the name of Christ
Thanks for your comment Jennifer, glad it helps. Dave
Context is so important, I amazed at the integrity of Scripture.
Very true...
Dear teacher thank you do much msy GOD BLESS YOU.
Thankyou Beruk
I’ve never followed religions. I’ve never heard of Luke (till now) but I had a dream someone I knew kept apologizing to me, and in my dream that person mention I had Saint Luke within me. Now I’m trying to gather as much information. As others have mentioned the ending of this video was rather beautiful. Thank you for the information.
May I humbly submit that who you need in you is the Holy Spirit of God? Jesus is the only path to life. Search for Him and you will find Him.
This is a wonderful biography! Thank you. Happy Feast day of St Luke!
Thanks for your kind words Vin
Thanks for your enlightening commentary
You’re welcome Lee
Thank you Dave for another inspiring talk. We are a little late listening because of summer stuff.
Thanks Tony...
Thanks for sharing 👍
Jesus told Luke, quite plainly, to heal himself of all of the maladies that he was treating other ppl for. It's something else! Trying to get back to myself, better health, and common sense at the moment. God bless!
Thank you so much for this, this video aids in my journey of understanding the bible at a deeper level. God bless you :)
You are welcome Gen
So interesting- yes, I’ll be reading both Luke & Acts- Thank you for your knowledge
Thanks and you’re welcome Donna
I am reminded of a song called 40 brave soldiers for Christ. It's on Utube. Thank you again.
Such great teaching thank you new subscriber today 😊 May God bless your messages in Jesus name.
Thanks for your kind words.
Wonderful synopsis,👏👏👏👏👏✝️🇮🇪☘💚
Thanks Paul
@@DaveRebbettes No, thank you Dave, your site is an absolute revelation, a real pleasure. ✝️
l;m your follower and enjoy your Scripture exegesis.,Fr Douglas RSA
Many thanks
I love your history on Luke. I had figured he was from the area of Troas and possibly studied in Phillipi. Now I know he was probably born in Antioch.
Glad you found it a little helpful, Dave
Thankyou sir, warm greetings from Indonesia.
You’re welcome Valentino and greetings to you too.
Thank you.
Very well done
Very nice videos
Thank you
You’re welcome Joshua
What a book has Luke offered us.
His refined style and compassionate to women revealed how blissful was this Greek physician. Each time when I read his gospel, especially the first two chapters, I'm both amazed and deeply touched by Luke, for all these canticles and the compassion of man.
What a grace that the foundation of our church was witnessed by this beloved physician, not only to Paul, to every faithful follower of the Lord as well.
Thank you for presenting this wonderful introduction to Luke the gospel, God bless you Mr. Rebbettes. Greetings from China.
Well said about Luke :)
Paul wrote several books contained in the new testament.
Very true, possibly up to half of the NT letters.
@@DaveRebbettes Saul as he was known before the conversation to become Paul couldn't understand why he was chosen to an spokesman for Christ Jesus after killing so many believers in Christ.
cheers
You're welcome
Luke is also the only non jew to write a book in the Bible
True George, thanks.
Just one thing, I really don’t understand why you didn’t go into any detail regarding how Luke sourced his information, his writings etc? Very odd…. what is Paul, Luke‘s only source of information regarding this epistle?
HI, thanks for your comment. I try to keep these short studies down to around 20 minutes. So some things I find quite difficult to cover even though they have value. Warmest, Dave
Actually the attribution of the 4 Gospels to Matthew, Mark , Luke and John took place a number of years after they were written. The earliest copies were anonymous as to the authors. There is little evidence to support the given authors.
There is no consensus as of when exactly Paul met Luke and under what circumstances. It looks like they met during one of those Paul beatings when Luke could have taken care of him after believing in Jesus. Luke might have been a physician for a wealthy politician when he decided to join Paul's missionaries right after one of those occasions Paul was beaten in Asia Minor. We can track this by carefully following Luke's writings.
Where are you getting this from? Not all that you are saying is in the Bible...........
Hi Alan, we know a lot from extra biblical writings and particularly other reliable letters that were written at the time. The early church fathers also wrote a lot of reliable historic writings. Hope that helps.
@@DaveRebbettes What are these extra-biblical writings? The Church father's writings were 100s of years later
Wow... Christianity isn't just a way of life... it's a way of death!!! 💯
Yeah, its a great statement isn't it. Let's learn what it is to both live as Gods children and die as Gods children. Teaching others through our example. Thanks for your comments. D
@@DaveRebbettes Thanks for your contribution sir!!! 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
St.Luke*
Mad as a bag of frogs.
He is a saint.... So it would be highly appreciated if u address him as Saint Luke... Thank you for the video 🙏🏼
Nowhere in the gospel “according to Luke” nor acts does the author present himself. This is 2nd century. Definitely not a companion of Paul As well as he used Josephus. Wrongly in places Apologetics is the Lowest form. Trying to keep the faithful flock intact by distorting facts and history
Thank you for talking such nonsense
Thank you
