Who is Luke?

Luke writes the books of Luke and Acts. Luke is a Gentile. From Colossians 4:10-14 it is determined he is a Physician. He is a Historian, which is told in Luke 1:1-4. He is writing to Theophilus an account of all Jesus did from birth to death. Luke explains all are important, women, children, Gentiles, Jews, and free or enslaved people. Colossians 4:14, 2 Timothy 4:11, and Philemon 24 are where Luke's name is present. There are hints throughout the book that confirm Luke is a Gentile. The references can be found in Luke 4:31, 8:26, 21:37, 23:51, and 24:13. In these verses, he explains Jewish localities. In the original language of Greek, his vocabulary is more Gentile than Jewish because of references to Roman Emperors in designating the dates of Jesus' birth. His accounts are more historical than the fulfillment of prophecies. He emphasizes forgiveness as in 3:3, 5:18-26, 6:37, 7:36-50, 11:4, 12:10, 17:3-4, 23:34, and 24:47. In the same manner, he emphasizes prayer in 3:21, 5:16, 6:12, 9:18, 29, 22:32, and 22:40-41.
