Luke wrote this Gospel so ""that you [Theophilus] may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught [i.e., catechesis]"" (1:4). It proceeds with a barrage of questions.

The third comes from Elizabeth: ""Why me?"" (1:43). Why should the gospel of Jesus Christ come to her? Mary answers that it has to do with God's choice, election, mercy, and salvation (1:47-55). The fourth has to do with John: ""What then will this child be?"" (1:66). Zechariah answers that he will be a prophet (1:76-79). John is not the Christ, but he will go before the Christ. Thus begins the catechism according to Luke, a series of questions in order that we may have certainty concerning the things we have been taught.
