Extract

In Luke 24:47 we are told that Jesus explained to the Emmaus disciples “Moses and all the prophets” and “interpreted in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” This statement reflects Luke's intense interest, both in his Gospel and in Acts, in the relationship between the ancient scriptures and the events of the life of Jesus and the activity of the apostles. In this paper I shall discuss briefly the variety of ways in which Luke quotes, paraphrases, and alludes to the scriptures.
