Luke
In the Bible, "Luke" primarily refers to two important aspects: the Gospel of Luke and its author, traditionally identified as Luke the Evangelist. The Gospel of Luke is the third book of the New Testament and is known for its detailed narrative and emphasis on the compassion of Jesus, particularly toward the marginalized, such as women, the poor, and sinners. Luke provides a unique perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus, highlighting themes of mercy and social justice, as seen in parables like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).Luke the Evangelist is described as a physician (Colossians 4:14) and a companion of the Apostle Paul. His writings not only include the Gospel of Luke but also the Acts of the Apostles, which chronicles the early church's formation and the spread of the gospel. The text of Luke's Gospel is often characterized by its literary quality and historical detail, distinguishing it among the synoptic gospels. The name "Luke" itself is of Greek origin, meaning "from Lucania," which may suggest his background or place of origin in southern Italy. His works are significant not only for their theological insights but also for their contributions to early Christian history.
