The aim of this study is to show that Luke has deliberately presented the life of Jesus in the Gospel in such a way as to make his task in Acts, describing the inclusion of Gentiles in the church, easier. To show this, a number of pericopes in the Gospel are examined and it is shown that they can be better understood or understood properly only by also reading Acts. Luke wrote his Gospel in such a way as to explain that the situation of the church in his time, i.e. the church in Acts containing baptised Gentiles, was rooted in the life of Jesus.
