Assuming you are talking about the one from The Bible and not the one from Starwars, he was not one of the original 12 apostles. He was never mentioned as an apostle in the bible. I believe that a number of the apostle had trouble writing or were too busy preaching to write so they had other people record the ministry of Jesus for them. Luke recorded the ministry. The apostles lived it. I think Luke's role shows us that anyone can be useful to God. He didn't have to be an apostle to make an impact to the world.

The apostle were being taught to preach about Jesus' life and resurrection. They were told to continue doing the miracles that Jesus had been doing during his ministry. They were also told that they would suffer and be perscuted like Jesus. I think it was for Luke's sake that he was not an original apostle but his part is just as important. He wrote about Jesus so that we can accurately read about it in the bible today.

Yes, Luke was not one of the original 12 apostles chosen by Jesus during his ministry, but he is considered an apostle in the broader sense of the term as a missionary and messenger of the Christian faith. He is known as the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament.

Luke the writer of the Gospel of Luke was not related to Jesus in a physical way. Jesus was a Jew and as far as we know Luke was a Gentile. The only way Luke was related to Jesus was spiritually, just as person's who accept Him as their Savior today.

They were cousins. Either second cousins, or first cousins one removed. Elizabeth (John's mother) and Mary (Jesus' mother) were cousins.

Luke is an interesting writer because he did not know Jesus Christ personally. He became a follower after the Lord’s death, when Paul taught him the gospel.

The Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective.

Mary's perspective is not explicitly cited as a source for the Gospel of Luke.


Was Luke a Greek doctor who wrote a Gospel?

A:Paul apparently had a companion called Luke, who was a physician. Whether he was actually Greek or was from another part of the Greek-speaking world is hard to establish for certain. The second-century Church Fathers attributed Luke with writing the third New Testament gospel, which had until then been anonymous, but this attribution is unlikely to be correct. So: Luke was a doctor; he might have been a Greek doctor; but he did not write a gospel.
