 The German Luther Bible and, later, the KJV change Kurenios into letters which existed in the Latin alphabet.  Although that alphabet is similar to ours, it does not, for example, contain the letter K, so that was replaced by C.  The ending -os is replaced by -us, which would be appropriate for a Roman man.  Hence Cyrenius.  In the German language, an obvious pronunciation of the word Cyrenius is Ku-rain-ius, which sounds similar to Kurenios.

	+	The [[gospel]] according [[Apostle Luke\|Luke]] is the third book of the [[New Testament]]. It tells the story of [[Jesus]]' life, death, and resurrection. The story told in Luke is continued by the same author in the sequel the [[Acts of the Apostles]].
	+
	+	===Author===
	+
	+	The author's name is not recorded anywhere in the gospel. Early Christian writings such as the [[Muratorian Canon]] and the works of [[Orenaeus]] name Luke as the author. Further evidence can be taken from the [[Book of Acts]], which is the continuation or companion book of the gospel of Luke, written by the same author. In Acts, the writer uses the pronoun "we" suggesting that the author was a companion of [[Apostle Paul\|Paul]].
	+
	+	===Recipient===
	+
	+	The gospel is addressed to [[Theophilus]] ([[Luke 1:3]]). Theophilus may have been a Roman official.
	+
	+	===Date and place of writing===
	+
	+	Two possible suggestions for the date of writing are between [[59 AD\|59]] and [[63 AD]], or around [[80 AD]].
