(16:19–31), of the good Samaritan (10:30–35), and perhaps most memorable, the lost son (15:11–32). All of these parables are placed in the mouth of Jesus, but much of their shaping may be due to Luke himself. Luke’s infancy and resurrection accounts have an almost folkloric quality. In Acts, there are also the wonderful stories of Ananias and Sapphira (5:1–11), Simon Magus (8:9–24), Peter’s release from prison (12:6–17), and Paul’s shipwreck (27:1–44), each of them small masterpieces of narration.
