The Gospel of Luke was written after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD. Therefore‚ Luke didn’t witness anything that God did‚ instead he wrote his Gospel based on the words and stories told by people at that time.

Though I was not able to attend a performance of the Godspell at my local high school; if I were given the chance again I would go to watch the play because the movie was truly captivating.
