St. Theophilus of Adana, also known as Theophilus the Penitent, was a sixth-century cleric who, according to legend, made a deal with the devil in order to gain an ecclesial title. His story is the inspiration for the Faust legend. His feastday is celebrated on February 4.
The fact that Luke addresses Theophilus formally as most excellent Theophilus in the Gospel of Luke but simply as O Theophilus in Acts implies that Theophilus was a government official with whom Luke had become better acquainted by the time he wrote the latter account that we call Acts of the Apostles or simply Acts.
