@Lu1:1
The Gospel According to Luke
CONCLUDING REMARKS
Luke, to whom this Gospel has been uniformly attributed from
the
earliest ages of the Christian church, is generally allowed to
have been the 'beloved physician' mentioned by St. Paul,
(Col.iv,14;) and as he was the companion of that apostle, in
all
his labours and sufferings, for many years, (Ac. xvi.12; xx.1-6;
xxvii.1,2; xxviii.13-16 2ti iv.11 phile 24,) and wrote 'the
Acts
of the Apostles,' which conclude with a brief account of St.
Paul's imprisonment at Rome, we may be assured that he had the
Apostle's sanction to what he did; and probably this Gospel was
written some time before that event, about A.D. 63 or 64, as is
generally supposed. He would appear, from Col iv.10,11, and his
intimate acquaintance with the Greek language, as well as from
his
Greek name [xxxxxx], to have been of Gentile extraction; and
according to Eusebius and others, he was a native of Antioch.
But, from the Hebraisms occurring in his writings, and
especially
from his accurate knowledge of the Jewish rites, ceremonies,
and
customs, it is highly probable that he was a Jewish proselyte,
and
afterwards converted to Christianity. Though he may not have
been, as some have affirmed, one of the seventy disciples, and
an
eye-witness of our Saviour's miracles, yet his intercourse with
the apostles, and those who were eye-witnesses of the works and
ear witnesses of the words of Christ, renders him an
unexceptional
witness, if considered merely as an historian; and the early
and
unanimous reception of his Gospel as divinely inspired is
sufficient to satisfy every reasonable person.

* most surely [], the passive participle of [], from [], full
measure; and is applied to a ship fully laden, to a tree in
full
bearing, etc. Hence it implies that fulness of evidence by
which
any fact is supported, and also that confidence, or feeling of
assent, by which facts so supported are believed.
