The Gospel of Luke
Luke was a Greek doctor. He wrote more of the New Testament (in Luke and Acts) than any other writer. Though Luke never met Jesus in person, he did thorough research and must have conducted in-depth interviews, because through his Gospel he clearly reveals Jesus’ great heart of compassion, and he includes parts of Jesus’ life and teaching that are not in the other Gospels. Luke addressed his book (as well as the Book of Acts) to an individual, Theophilus, thought to be a Gentile official of some kind who believed in Jesus. Luke wanted him to have an “orderly account” of Jesus’ life, which would give him confidence that he had heard the truth about Jesus (Luke 1:3-4). Though Luke never mentions himself in his Gospel, he leaves the distinct impression that he loved Jesus as the Son of Man, completely human as well as completely divine. He understood that Jesus came as a servant “to seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10).
