A companion of Paul in the New Testament, traditionally regarded as the author of the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles.
About Luke
A close friend and helper of the apostle Paul. He wrote the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts.
If we accept Luke, the friend of Paul, as the author of Luke-Acts, we can learn much about him from this two-part work. The introduction to the Gospel shows that Luke was not an eyewitness or someone who directly followed Jesus during his life. He explains that he did thorough research and wrote an organized account of Jesus's life.
