Luke (1st century CE) was, according to Christian tradition, one of the four evangelists and a companion of Paul of Tarsus.

Overview

The author of Luke-Acts is traditionally identified with Luke, a friend and companion of Paul, mentioned in three letters--as "a fellow worker" (Philemon 1:24), "the beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14), and a companion (2 Timothy 4:11).

Christian tradition assumed that they were all references to the same person and described Luke as a Gentile, a native of Antioch, by profession a physician. Besides being the author of Luke-Acts, he was also described as the first iconographer. There are no narratives about his martyrdom; Luke was believed to have lived to old age. His reputed remains were brought to Padoa [Italy] in the 12th century.

Studies on the historical Luke are made impossible by the lack of evidence, and are generally restricted to introductory notes on the authorship of Luke-Acts, or to the study of the legends surrounding his life.
