Angels Announce The Birth Of Jesus

Luke – The Great Historian

Luke, an outstanding historian, provides the most complete overview of the events surrounding Jesus’ birth. It is very likely that he interviewed Mary, and some of the shepherds who had witnessed the event, in order to provide such vivid detail of the angel’s words, and the reaction of all the participants. Luke reveals that he had a working knowledge of the Temple, and the rotation of the priests. He shares the words exchanged between the Angel and Zacharias, and even identifies the governor of Syria at the time of the first enrollment.
