Luke the Evangelist

Luke the Evangelist (Ancient Greek: Λουκᾶς Loukas) was an early Christian leader who is said by tradition to be the author of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.The Roman Catholic Church venerates him as patron saint of physicians and surgeons.
Saint Luke was born of Greek origin in the city of Antioch.

His earliest notice is in Paul's Epistle to Philemon, verse 24. He is also mentioned in Colossians 4:14 and 2 Timothy 4:11, two works commonly ascribed to Paul. The next earliest account of Luke is in the Anti-Marcionite Prologue to the Gospel of Luke, a document once thought to date to the 2nd century AD, but which has more recently been dated to the later 4th century. Helmut Koester, however, claims that the following part – the only part preserved in the original Greek – may have been composed in the late 2nd century:“ Luke, a native of Antioch, by profession a physician. He had become a disciple of the apostle Paul and later followed Paul until his [Paul's] martyrdom. Having served the Lord continuously, unmarried and without children, filled with the Holy Spirit he died at the age of 84 years.
Luke the Evangelist was hung.
