Summary/Abstract: The author of the Third Gospel decided to study the available narratives and to write down all the authentic and significant ones. The aim of this was to make the audience of the Gospel believe. Luke sketched a portrait of Jesus in the following verses of the Gospel. What made the image of Jesus so unusual was the fact that the evangelist had never met the Master of Nazareth. For this reason he had to follow certain examples. The man of God from Tishbe seems to be one of these examples.
