description: The gospel of Luke has long been recognized as the gospel which presents Jesus as the Universal Savior. This gospel, along with Matthew and Mark, is numbered among the synoptics. Its primary purpose is to present Jesus as the Savior of Jew and Gentile alike. Written in some of the best and most idiomatic Greek of the New Testament, its message reaches from the simplest presentation of the gospel truth to that which is most sublime. Contained within its structure are some of the best loved parables spoken by Jesus including the parable of the lost sheep, the parable of the lost coin and the parable of the prodigal son. Luke's gospel also includes accounts of the virgin birth, the experience of Zacchaeus, the Sermon on the Plain, the Master's weeping over Jerusalem, the Emmaus record and the Ascension account.
