00:00The Messiah had to die and rise again on the third day, and in his name, God would be proclaimed to all nations.

00:23You must bear witness to these things, and I will send upon you what my Father promised, but
00:31Stay here in the city of Jerusalem until you receive power from heaven.
00:38We have some information about Lucas from both the writings attributed to him and the
00:47tradition itself, when he makes the dedication of his gospel, presents himself as someone
00:54A well-informed person knows that others have attempted to recount the events that took place previously.
01:02Your thorough research can help you present a well-organized narrative.
01:09Pablo, for his part, speaks of him as a beloved doctor, presents him as a collaborator of his, or as
01:18His only companion, according to tradition, Luke is both the author of the third gospel and of the Acts of the Apostles.
01:26Luke clearly dedicates his entire work to Theophilus, whom he calls an illustrious title.

01:58It contrasts the law of the old covenant with the new law proposed by Jesus; likewise, it avoids everything
02:05that which may be harsh or unsuitable for Gentiles, such as the passage about the Syrophoenician woman without
02:12However, it highlights all those passages that emphasize the universality of the mission as the
02:20Simeon's prophecy: Thus, when Jesus visits Nazareth, he insists to his listeners on the works performed by Elijah and
02:29Elisha left Israel; likewise, Jesus uses the Samaritans as examples in his teachings.
02:37Lucas's experience as a converted pagan has taught him the difficulties that can arise for a
02:45Gentle openness of faith, just as Paul has attempted; that is why Saint Luke, who has been Paul's tireless companion in the
02:56The universalism of the Church in composing its Gospel presents us with a Jesus open to all people of all nations because his salvation is not only for the Jews but for all people, even though the Jews have placed
03:16Obstacles to the evangelization of the pagans: Jerusalem is presented by Luke as the central axis from which salvation springs; everything begins and ends in Jerusalem.
03:29It is true that Jesus preaches and acts in Galilee, but Luke insists on the path that Jesus takes towards the holy city.
03:39Luke presents Jesus as the culmination of God's promise; he is the Messiah of the tribe of David, yet those who worship him are the people.
03:53Humble, simple, and in some ways marginalized, the shepherds, Jesus appears to be baptized and thus prepare for his ministry, for which he presents a program
04:05Following the proposal presented by Isaiah, a ministry he first carries out in Galilee, from where he prepares his ascent
04:14towards Jerusalem to fulfill the Father's mission where, for his glorification, he will suffer passion and death, but afterwards
04:24Among the themes favored by Luke, which will extend to this book of the Acts of the Apostles, is that of the spirit.
04:33Holy Spirit, this spirit is present at the moment of conception; likewise, it inspires Mary and Elizabeth.
04:42Simeon, Anna, and the disciples: this spirit leads Jesus into the desert and also guides him to carry out the good news
04:53Foretold by Isaiah, the Gospel also insists on the importance of caring for the poor and for others.
05:03With money, he also reminds us of the joy that springs from the outpouring of the spirit and the work he carries out
05:11Jesus, for his part, according to the book of the Acts of the Apostles, restarts the mission that the Father had entrusted to him.
05:19to Christ, and that when the church is gathered in prayer awaiting the promise made by Jesus
05:26They receive the Holy Spirit, who sends them out from there to the whole world to spread the gospel of Jesus.
05:34That is why Luke will conclude the events by showing Paul arriving in Rome, the end of the world, and
05:43representation of the center of the world at that time, Lucas, in the same way that he has instructed his readers with
05:51What pertains to the mission of Jesus now shows us how that same mission extends in time and in the
05:59space through the church that begins its ministry when the holy spirit is poured out
06:06over her so that they can fulfill Jesus's commission first through the apostles and the
06:14The first converts took the gospel of Jesus to the synagogues and Jewish communities so that
06:21Know that God has fulfilled the promise made to our ancestors by giving us Jesus as our Messiah and Savior, but
06:29Almost from the beginning, we are shown the vocation of a convinced Jew, later converted, and that
06:37He prepares to be a Pharisee to bring the gospel to the people; Paul's vocation is the gateway to
06:44The opening of the gospel to the pagan world meant that, day by day, cities came to know Jesus through it.
06:54The missionaries, little by little, with the light of the Holy Spirit, the church expands and defines the

07:17It happened when the Tower of Babel was being built, which symbolizes men's ambition to rise up.
07:24even the throne of God to replace it now with the gift of the spirit, men become one
07:32through the paraclete, and his intention is not to seize the divine dignity or the power of God, but
07:41To put oneself at the service of one's Lord, the Paraclete sent by Jesus sends men out of themselves.
07:49then outside their lands to avoid at all costs forming a ghetto-type regional church and the
07:58True human unity is achieved through the bonds that God provides; that is why the church soon
08:06It will overcome its status as a racial church to become a universal church, that is, a Catholic church, opening itself to
08:17world will provoke the convocation of the first council held in Jerusalem to define the way in
08:24that the church had to relate to the pagan world and the way in which it was to receive the promises
08:32Made to the Jewish people, the life of Paul is the life of the man in love with Jesus, whom he proclaims to the
08:41Furthermore, not as an obligation imposed from the outside, but as a necessity and conviction to do
08:49to make other men aware of the dignity that God has granted him through the event of Christ.
08:57We have ceased to be creatures and have become children; this is the joy that Paul will bring to the
09:05nations at the time of announcing the gospel, that is, the good news of salvation granted by
09:13God in Christ Jesus, with the arrival of Paul in Rome, begins the climax of the proclamation of the good news
09:21From there the gospel will one day be proclaimed to the whole world; we have already discussed these two books together.
09:29that the unity of authorship between the Gospel according to Saint Luke and the Acts of the Apostles be recognized
09:37from the beginning, because in fact the unity between these two books of the Bible appears in both works.
09:46It was demonstrated in the first part of the 20th century and is now accepted by almost all exegetes
09:53based primarily on the unity of language, style, and theology of the four evangelists
10:02Lucas is the only one who begins his story by dedicating his work to the one that is generally called
10:11This same dedication, called a prologue, is mentioned at the beginning of the book of the Acts of the Apostles.
10:19Let's read both passages
10:21Many have undertaken the task of writing the history of the deeds that God has carried out
10:32among us as transmitted to us by those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and
10:40Then they received the commission to announce the message. I too, most excellent Theophilus, have investigated it.
10:48Everything carefully from the beginning, and I thought it convenient to write these things down for you in an orderly fashion.
10:56so that you may know the truth of what you have been taught
11:02In my first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus had done and taught from the beginning.
11:17Even on the day he ascended to heaven, before leaving, he gave instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen regarding what they should do.
11:30The similarity of these two texts clearly indicates that the first book mentioned in the second is undoubtedly the Gospel according to Saint Luke.
11:43Saint Luke before the four gospels were regrouped, the gospel of Luke placed among the works of Mark
11:51And John was to appear together with the book of deeds as two parts of the same work, to be read one after the other.
12:01We can see how these dedications communicate the essence of the author's project
12:08In both cases, he expresses himself in the first person but without saying his name, but on the contrary, he does not name the recipient of his work.
12:18That means he does it with some intention. Theophilus is a Greek name that means friend of God or beloved of God.
12:29In this regard, we will say that it is difficult to determine whether it is a historical figure or if it was the author's intention in choosing this name.
12:39It was to symbolize the type of reader he wanted to address
12:43But it would be interesting to know how this dedication might influence us today.
12:50current readers of this work
12:53In this regard, Saint Veda, the venerable doctor of the church, spoke with the following words
12:59Theophilus means one who loves God or loved by God; anyone who loves God or desires to be loved by God.
13:10believe that the gospel has been written for him and given to him as a gift
13:17with the instruction to keep such a precious jewel safe
13:21He does not reveal to Theophilus the reason for new and unknown things.
13:27but promises to explain to him the truth about the things he has already been instructed about
13:34when he adds so that you may know the truth of those words you have learned
13:40This is so that you can know everything that has been told you about the Lord or has been done for Him
13:48It is in this type of text that we see the importance of details
13:55of those beautiful gifts that God gives us without us even realizing it
14:01When Luke writes this prologue and dedicates it to Theophilus
14:05We can think of each of us as this beloved of God
14:10or at least as someone who desires to love God
14:14Let's imagine that instead of saying "dear Theophilus," our name appeared.
14:20How different it is to read something that seems written for someone else
14:24but we know it was meant to be read by each of us
14:30whom God had in mind when inspiring the sacred author
14:36This story of the events was transmitted by the witnesses of the gospel.
14:41It comes to us today so that we may fully understand the truth that has been taught to us.
