A Little Boy Named Jesus Told By ST. Luke

Life was flowing normally. Both families were happy and were very close and loving, until that day came. It was a holly day, when the angel Gabriel came down from the heavens. The Angel Gabriel presented himself to Zechariah husband of Elizabeth, relative to Mary. He told Zechariah that his wife, Elizabeth was pregnant by the Holy Spirit and was giving birth to John The Baptist, who later was Jesus’ prophet. Elizabeth meets Mary and tells he she will have a son by the grace of the Holy Spirit and that she will be the “mother of my lord” (1,43). After some months, John is born while Mary en her betrothed Joseph travels from Nazareth to Bethlehem. This was the place of birth of Jesus Christ.

The family later goes to Jerusalem where Jesus doesn’t appear for three days. After looking for the three days, Mary finds his in the temple with all of the sages. Jesus’ only response to Mary’s preoccupation is “How is it that ye sought me?” (2, 49) Jesus grew up and after some time he meets John the Baptist who baptizes him in the desert.

In The Gospel according to St. Luke, they describe all of Jesus’ ancestors which surprisingly start with Adam who is classified as “the son of God”

Jesus is tested by Satan by being sent 40 days to the wilderness. After the 40 days are over, Jesus starts his preaching. St. Luke explains how Jesus exorcised a demon and also they say how he cured other things, not specifying what else he did. Jesus later met Simon Peter who he made a miracle by improving his fishing. He became the first of the 12 apostles. Jesus faced the opposition from the Pharisees.

In difference with The Gospel according to St. Matthew, Jesus came to the top of the mount and gave a small sermon in which he said “Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you” (6, 27) Jesus continued becoming very popular in Israel as he revived a boy from his death. Jesus sends all of his apostles to do the same as he did and cure illnesses. On one day, Jesus predicted his crucifixion. After, he asked Peter who he was and Peter replied “The Christ of God”

Jesus never exactly specified he was the son of God. “Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.” (22, 70)

Jesus is crucified and his last words before dying were “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (23, 34)

3 days later, a group of women including Mary Magdalene go to his grave and saw that he is not there. The angels appear on to them and say he has resurrected. Jesus came to his apostles and gave his last words and “And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.” (24, 51)
