Lonnie Warneke, which was his baptismal name, was born March 28, 1909, the fourth of five children to Louis W. (" Luke ") Warneke and Martha Belle Scott Warneke in Owley, Arkansas, six miles south of Mount Ida, the county seat of Montgomery County.

Luke Warneke, from 1907 to 1913, was in charge of improving the county roads and, using the newly acquired road graders drawn by eight mules, he made major improvements to the roads throughout the county, transforming them from dirt trails often overgrown by brush, pocketed by mud holes, and punctured by tree stumps, to passable, graded two-lane ( wagon ) roads — although still unpaved.

Evidence for this is found in the prologue to the Gospel of Luke, wherein the author alludes to his sources by writing, " Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

In Luke 1: 3-4, the author states that he decided to “ write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the truth concerning the things about which you have been instructed .” Theophilus is Greek for lover of God and it is suggested that he may either be an individual who recently converted to the faith or a Roman official of whom the church is seeking acceptance from.

“ Acts, then is a continuation of the Lucan Gospel, not in the sense that it relates what Jesus continued to do, but how his followers carried out his commission under the guidance of his Spirit .” Thus, part of the answer to the purpose of Acts is that Luke is writing to Theophilus, who is also mentioned in Luke 1: 3, in order to explain to him the occurrences that take place in the church that fulfill Jesus ’ promise to his disciples that “ you will be baptized with, the Holy Spirit not many days from now ” ( Acts 1: 5 ).

Supporters of this view believe that “ to a hypothetical outside reader, presents Christianity as enlightened, harmless, even beneficent .” Some believe that through this work, Luke intended to show the Roman Empire that the root of Christianity is within Judaism so that the Christians “ may receive the same freedom to practice their faith that the Roman Empire afforded the Jews .” Those who support the view of Luke ’ s work as political apology generally draw evidence from the facts that Christians are found innocent of committing any political crime ( Acts 25: 25 ; 19: 37 ; 19: 40 ) and that Roman officials ’ views towards Christians are generally positive.

Some believe that this appeal “ thereby shows Christian ’ s of Luke ’ s day both that their predecessors were innocent before the state and that Paul had no political quarrel with Rome ” but rather with the Jews who were accusing him.

Other scholars have even said that Luke wrote this apology in order to support Christians who were becoming allies with local Roman officials.

( Acts 3: 13 ; 5: 30 ; 15: 10 ; 22: 14 ; 26: 6 ; 28: 5 ) Those who agree with this claim often reject that Luke is writing an apology.

Esler, who advanced this legitimation view, has suggested that in Luke ’ s community there were Roman officials who were recent converts and they wanted to make sure that their new found faith could successfully coexist with their allegiance to the empire.

Esler believes that this specific point is supported through Luke ’ s emphasis on citing examples of Romans who come to believe in Christ ( Acts 10: 1-11: 18 ; 13: 12 ; 18: 7 ).

Many who side with this view disagree that Luke portrays Christianity or the Roman Empire as harmless and thus reject the apologetic view because “ Acts does not present Christians as politically harmless or law abiding for there are a large number of public controversies concerning Christianity, particularly featuring Paul .” For example, to support this view Cassidy references how Paul is accused of going against the Emperor because he is “ saying that there is another king named Jesus .” ( Acts 17: 7 ) Furthermore, there are multiple examples of Paul ’ s preaching causing uprisings in various cities ( Acts 14: 2 ; 14: 19 ; 16: 19-23 ; 17: 5 ; 17: 13-14 ; 19: 28-40 ; 21: 27 ).

The traditional view is that Luke, who was not an eye-witness of Jesus ' ministry, wrote his gospel after gathering the best sources of information within his reach ( Luke 1: 1-4 ).

If Luke was only a sometime companion of Paul who idealized him long after his death, that could explain the differences between Acts and Paul's letter.

In the middle of the 2nd century, an edited version of the Gospel of Luke was the only gospel accepted by Marcion, a heretic who rejected Christianity's connection to Jewish scripture.

He wrote for a Jewish audience: like " Q " and " M ", he stresses the continuing relevance of the Jewish law ; unlike Mark he never bothers to explain Jewish customs ; and unlike Luke, who traces Jesus's ancestry back to Adam, father of the human race, he traces it only to Abraham, father of the Jews.

The fathers of Christianity included those who had been disciples of Jesus such as Peter, Matthew, James and John, as well as others who may never have met him but were either influenced by accounts of his teachings such as the Gospel writers Mark and Luke, or described having spiritual revelations of his divine nature, such as Paul of Tarsus who actively encouraged the founding of Christian communities or " churches " after his conversion.

In the passage of Adversus Haereses under consideration, Irenaeus is clear that after receiving baptism at the age of thirty, citing Luke 3: 23, Gnostics then falsely assert that " He preached only one year reckoning from His baptism ," and also, " On completing His thirtieth year He suffered, being in fact still a young man, and who had by no means attained to advanced age.

He is described in the Gospel of Luke as a relative of Jesus who led a movement of baptism at the Jordan River.

* Luke 10: 25-28: " On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.

* Western Christianity's most prolific 20th century essayist, F. W. Boreham in ' Life at Thirty ' (' Cliffs of Opal ') mentions that in addition to Jesus commencing ministry at 30 ( Luke 3: 23 ), Joseph was 30 when he stood before Pharaoh, King of Egypt ( Genesis 41: 46 ), King David was 30 when he began to reign ( 2 Samuel 5: 4 ), and the Levites were numbered from the age of 30 and upward ( 1 Chronicles 23: 3 ).

The first trainers were Edwin Parr, Joseph Saxon, John Prince, Luke Snowden ( one of the few trainers to be buried at St Michaels graveyard ) and John Drinkald, who went insane when his horse was disqualified after winning a race in which he stood to win £ 28, 000.

For example the top right caption reads :" legis peritus surrexit temptans illum " or " lawyer stood up, tempting him ", from Luke 10, 25.

In 1619 when he moved to Utrecht, his brother-in-law van der Ast entered the Utrecht Guild of St. Luke, where the renowned painter Abraham Bloemaert had just become dean.

Biblically this does not match three of the Gospel accounts ( Matthew, Luke, and John ) which specifically state the tomb was new and no one had ever been laid inside.

Paul described Luke as “ the beloved physician ”, leading Hobart to claim in 1882 that the vocabulary used in Luke-Acts suggests its author may have had medical training.

This is significant because Jesus had prophesied concerning the temple when He said " As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down ," ( Luke 21: 6, see also Matt.

Matthew agrees with Paul that gentiles did not have to be circumcised in order to enter the church, but unlike Paul ( and like Luke ) he believed that the Law was still in force, which meant that Jews within the church had to keep it.

In the bottom of the tenth innning, Luke Scott hit a blast to left field that had home run distance, but was inches foul.

Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Alec Guinness ) explains that the Galactic Empire had all but exterminated the Jedi some twenty years before the events of the film, and seeks to train Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill ) to be the Order's last hope.

Luke does not name any witnesses, but mentions " women who had followed him from Galilee " standing at a distance.

A similar anointing is described in the Gospel of Luke as occurring at the home of one Simon the Pharisee in which a woman who had been sinful all her life, and who was crying, anointed Jesus ' feet and, when her tears started to fall on his feet, she wiped them with her hair.

The author of the Catholic Encyclopedia article goes on to enumerate the accounts of each of these three persons ( the unnamed " sinner ", Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany ) in the Gospel of Luke and concludes that based on these accounts “ there is no suggestion of an identification of the three persons, and if we had only Luke to guide us we should certainly have no grounds for so identifying them the same person .” He then explains first the Catholic position equating Mary of Bethany with the sinful woman of Luke by referring to, where Mary is identified as the woman who anointed Jesus, and noting that this reference is given before John ’ s account of the anointing in Bethany:

Pseudo-Dionysius had apparently read the Alexandrinus variant of Gospel of Luke () where the darkness said to have accompanied the crucifixion is attributed to an eclipse.

Bo and Luke had previously been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine ; their Uncle Jesse made a plea deal with the U. S. Government to stop brewing moonshine in exchange.

The only episode to directly reference the slight age difference between Luke and Bo is in the seventh season opener, the " flashback " episode " Happy Birthday, General Lee ", where it is stated that Luke had already been in the Marines while Bo was in his last year at High School.

An ex-stock car driver, Bo is the one who, in the earlier episodes at least, drives The General Lee most of the time ( very early episodes suggest that it belongs solely to him ; Luke is said to have a car that Cooter had wrecked shortly prior to the start of the opening episode, " One Armed Bandits ").

In 1880, Philip Weilbach, secretary and librarian at the Art Academy in Copenhagen, and like Luke Howard, an amateur meteorologist, proposed and had accepted by the International Meteorological Committee ( IMC ) the designation of a new free-convective vertical genus type, cumulonimbus, which would be distinct from cumulus and nimbus and identifiable by its appearance and ability to produce thunder.

His considerable dogfighting prowess is shown in the Battle of Yavin when he saves Luke by shooting down a TIE Fighter that Luke had been unable to shake.
