Answers
1c - Paul mentions "Luke the Doctor" in his letters
2b - Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles and more than other writers, Luke emphasizes how Jesus reached out to Gentiles
3d - Saying Jesus's miracles were from the devil (Beelzebub is another name for Satan) was the ultimate rejection of his ministry
4a - Luke's introduction in Chapter 1 lays this out clearly
5b - A ceremonially unclean Jew could not enter the Temple or perform sacrifices and thus could not be cleansed from sin or be part of the community, until he or she was cleansed
