Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke is the third of the New Testament's canonical Gospels. It tells of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Together with the Acts of the Apostles, it makes up a two-volume work called Luke–Acts, accounting for 27.5% of the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke shares the same author as the Acts of the Apostles. Tradition identifies the writer as Luke the Evangelist, a doctor who travelled with Paul the Apostle, though the text does not name its author. Perhaps most scholars think that he was a companion of Paul, but others cite differences with the Pauline epistles.
