About St. Luke:
St. Luke, a physician at Antioch and a painter, became a convert of St. Paul and later served as his fellow missionary. St. Luke is best known to us as the historian of the New Testament (credited with writing the Gospel of St. Luke and the Acts of the Apostles). Although not a witness of the life of Jesus, this evangelist diligently gathered information from the lips of the Apostles, and wrote, as he tells his readers, “all things in order.” The Acts of the Apostles was written by Luke as a sequel to the Gospel of St. Luke, documenting a history of the church until the time of St. Paul’s imprisonment in Rome. This humble historian never names himself, but by his occasional use of “we” for “they” the reader is able to detect his presence in the scenes he describes. So it is believed that St. Luke sailed with St. Paul and Silas from Troas to Macedonia, stayed behind for several years at Philippi and shared with St. Paul the perils and shipwreck of the final journey to Rome. At this point, St. Luke’s narrative ends, but from other New Testament writings one learns that St. Luke was Paul’s faithful companion to the end. He died a martyr’s death in Achaia. Because St. Luke was first a physician by profession, the Church designated him as Patron of all Physicians.
