Comparisons have been made between the annunciation narrative in Luke's Gospel with the Dead Sea scrolls manuscript Q4Q246:

The Sermon on the Mount may be compared with the similar but more succinct Sermon on the Plain as recounted by the Gospel of Luke ( 6: 17 – 49 ), which occurs at the same moment in Luke's narrative, and also features Jesus heading up a mountain, but giving the sermon on the way down at a level spot.

() Matthew's account does not mention the angels and shepherds, while Luke's narrative is silent on the Magi and the star.

Helmut Koester writes that while Matthew's narrative was formed in a biblical environment, Luke's was modeled to appeal to the Greco-Roman world.

The angels are mentioned in the Gospel of Mark at Mark 1: 13 but they are absent from Luke's narrative.

Luke's closing statement that the devil " departed from him until an opportune time " may provide a narrative link to the immediately following attempt at Nazareth to throw Jesus down from a high place, or may anticipate a role for Satan in the Passion ( cf.

Luke describes the " generations of Christ " in Chapter 3 of Luke's Gospel, beginning with Jesus himself and tracing backwards through his " earthly father " Joseph all the way to Adam.

Unlike Luke's account, Matthew focuses on the character of Joseph and Joseph's discovery and concern over his betrothed's pregnancy and the message from an angel telling Joseph to stand by Mary, quoting Isaiah 7: 14 presaging the birth of the Messiah.

The annunciation to the shepherds of the birth of the Christ is represented in the words of St Luke's Gospel.

Luke's story takes place mostly before the birth of Jesus and centers on Mary, while Matthew's story takes place mostly after the birth of Jesus and centers on Joseph.

However, C. T. Ruddick, Jr. writes that Luke's birth narratives ( both of Jesus and John ) were modeled on passages from Genesis: 27-43.

Thus the Gospel of Matthew is held to record Jesus ' lineage by birth while Luke's by law, this distinction being defended by Luke's use of the phrase " Joseph son of Eli, as was supposed.

Hudson gave birth to a son with an unknown father ( she is said to believe his father was the Sun ) on September 25, 2004, at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston, Texas, with thanatophoric dysplasia, a typically fatal form of congenital dwarfism.

On August 16, 2008, she gave birth, via Caesarian section ( 8-9 p. m .) to an 8 pound, 12 ounce ( 3. 68 kg ) baby boy at St. Luke's Hospital, Quezon City.

The Gospel of Luke also reports that such questions were asked of Jesus ; in Luke's case it being the priests that repeatedly accused him, though Luke states that Jesus remained silent to such inquisition, causing Pilate to hand Jesus over to the jurisdiction ( Galilee ) of Herod Antipas.

Luke, however, made further reference to this involvement of Herod along with Pilate in Jesus ' execution and linked it with the prophecy about the Messianic King found in Psalm 2, as we can read in Luke's other book, Acts 4: 24 – 28.

Luke's story centers on Mary, while Matthew's story centers on Joseph, and in both gospel accounts ( Luke 2: 1-7 and Matthew 2: 1 ) Jesus is conceived without a human father.

As the disciples rest, Jesus prays ; then Judas Iscariot leads in either " a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees " ( accompanied according to Luke's Gospel by the chief priests and elders ), or a " large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people ", which arrests Jesus ; all his disciples run away.

The arresting party brings Jesus to the Sanhedrin ( Jewish supreme court ); according to Luke's Gospel, Jesus is beaten by his Jewish guards prior to his examination ; the court examines him, in the course of which, according to John's Gospel, Jesus is struck in the face by one of the Jewish officials ; the court determine he deserves to die ( see Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus ).

The first is a brief mention in Luke's genealogy of the ancestors of Jesus ( Luke 3: 37 ).

Regardless, Luke's nativity depicts Jesus as a savior for all people.

Luke's Christology centers on the dialectics of the dual natures of the earthly and heavenly manifestations of existence of the Christ, while Matthew's Christology focuses on the mission of Jesus and his role as the savior.

The synoptic Gospels agree that Jesus grew up in Nazareth, went to the River Jordan to meet and be baptised by the prophet John ( Yohannan ) the Baptist, and shortly thereafter began healing and preaching to villagers and fishermen around Luke's " Sea of Galilee " ( which is actually a freshwater lake ).

Er is also a name listed by the Gospel of Luke's version of the genealogy of Jesus.

Mary Magdalene and Joanna are among the women who went to prepare Jesus ' body in Luke's account of the resurrection, and who later told the apostles and other disciples about the empty tomb and words of the " two men in dazzling clothes ".

According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus was crucified between two thieves ( Dismas and Gestas ), one of whom supports Jesus ' innocence and asks him to remember him when he comes into his kingdom.
