Gospel of Luke
Third synoptic account
The Gospel of Luke is the third book of the New Testament, an account of Jesus's life attributed to Luke, a physician and companion of Paul.
Among the four gospels, Luke emphasizes Jesus's compassion for outcasts, women, and the poor.
It contains distinctive material including the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, and provides the fullest nativity narrative.
Luke and Acts are companion volumes, together tracing Christianity from Jesus's birth through Paul's ministry in Rome.
