Luke

The Beloved Physician

Den tidiga kyrkanLeaderc. 10–80 AD

Luke was a physician and Paul's faithful companion. He is the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles—together nearly one-quarter of the New Testament. As the only non-Jewish biblical writer, he wrote thoroughly and with historical accuracy about Jesus' life and the early years of the church.
