Luke was a Gentile Christian who may have been apart of Judaism. Adding to writing the Gospel of Luke‚ he also wrote the Acts of the Apostles‚ in total about one-fourth of the New Testament. Luke mainly wrote around the time of AD 75-90‚ more than likely around 85. His target audience was the Gentile-Christians. Within his writing‚ he talked highly of the city of Jerusalem‚ using it as a symbol. Luke said that the Messiah would begin within the Holy City of Jerusalem and that it would be a main point

All we can do is "understand" (they wouldn’t even say interpret) it‚ and the right to do so has devolved upon rabbis‚ descendants of the Pharisees who probably began teaching during the Babylonian Exile. The "authentic" understanding of the Torah is encapsulated in the "halachah‚" the law (literally‚ "way"). God is thus the law-giver whose literal words must be obeyed. From this comes the concept
