THEOPHILUS - T>@ - (friend of God) the person to whom St. Luke inscribes his Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. kjv@Luke:1:3; kjv@Acts:1:1) From the honorable epithet applied to him in kjv@Luke:1:3) it has been argued with much probability that he was a person in high official position. All that can be conjectured with any degree of safety concerning him comes to this, that he was a Gentile of rank and consideration who came under the influence of St. Luke or under that of St. Paul at Rome, and was converted to the Christian faith.

easton:



Theophilus @ lover of God, a Christian, probably a Roman, to whom Luke dedicated both his Gospel kjv@Luke:1:3) and the Acts of the Apostles (1:1). Nothing beyond this is known of him. From the fact that Luke applies to him the title "most excellent", the same title Paul uses in addressing Felix kjv@Acts:23:26 kjv@Acts:24:3) and Festus (26:25), it has been concluded that Theophilus was a person of rank, perhaps a Roman officer.
