Exegesis Acts 11:1-19

This was beyond the time of anti Jewish Muratiorian and their opposition. Even though the writer does not identify himself. It is reasonable however, to assume this writer was a companion of Paul as it uses We and was a Gentile and a Physician. All things Luke has traditionally said to be. The first document that said Luke was the writer was a fragment known as the Muration Fragment. As well as supported by Irenaeus and other people of the time bear the same support to his authorship. (Bruce 12) Internal Evidence also seems to coincide with this argument. The evidence that whoever wrote the book of Acts had to have a had habit of using vocabulary consistent with that of a Greek Physician and the traditional Luke would have been familiar with just that. (Blaiklock 26).
             Acts and Luke were both written to a certain Theophilius in Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1: Yet the clear identification of who this person was has never been revealed. Nothing is none of who this man was. Three theories have been put forth to who Luke was writing to. The first theory is that Theophilius isn't even a real name at all. The name Christian might have been associated with a reputation that would not looked good to the world he was living in. Thus the author used two Greek words, theos which means God and phillen, which means to love. Luke could have been writing to any lover of God. (Arrington 20).
             Another possibility was that this person could have been a high Government official that Luke wrote to in defense of Christianity and to show this fellow that these people were good and decent folk. He displayed different instances in which the government was favorable to Christianity.
             The final possibility according to Will Barclay's The Acts of The Apostles is perhaps this Luke was a slave. In the ancient times Doctors were often slaves and perhaps Luke was the Doctor of Theopilus. In thanks of nursing him back to health. It's his thought that Luke wished to do something to show how much he was grateful and thus presented with him the gift of the story of Jesus Christ.
