If this were true, it would make Luke the only writer of the New Testament who can clearly be identified as not being Jewish. This comment has traditionally caused commentators to conclude that Luke was a gentile. 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, but which has more recently been dated to the later 4th century. He is also mentioned in Colossians 4:14 and 2 Timothy 4:11, two Pauline epistles.

His earliest mention is in Philemon 1:24. Others have only been prepared to conclude that Luke was either a Hellenistic Jew or a god-fearer. While it has been widely accepted that the theology of Luke–Acts points to a gentile Christian writing for a gentile audience, some have concluded that it is more plausible that Luke–Acts is directed to a community made up of both Jewish and gentile Christians since there is stress on the scriptural roots of the gentile mission (see the use of Isaiah 49:6 in Luke–Acts). Many scholars believe that Luke was a Greek physician who lived in the Greek city of Antioch in Ancient Syria, although some other scholars and theologians think Luke was a Hellenic Jew. The Catholic Church and other major denominations venerate him as Saint Luke the Evangelist and as a patron saint of artists, physicians, bachelors, surgeons, students and butchers his feast day is 18 October.

He is believed to have been a martyr, reportedly having been hanged from an olive tree, though some believe otherwise. Since the early years of the faith, Christians have regarded him as a saint.

The New Testament mentions Luke briefly a few times, and the Epistle to the Colossians refers to him as a physician (from Greek for 'one who heals') thus he is thought to have been both a physician and a disciple of Paul. Prominent figures in early Christianity such as Jerome and Eusebius later reaffirmed his authorship, although a lack of conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of the works has led to discussion in scholarly circles, both secular and religious. The Early Church Fathers ascribed to him authorship of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, which would mean Luke contributed over a quarter of the text of the New Testament, more than any other author. Luke the Evangelist ( Latin: Lucas Ancient Greek: Λουκᾶς, Loukâs Hebrew: לוקאס, Lūqās Aramaic: /ܠܘܩܐ לוקא, Lūqā’) is one of the Four Evangelists-the four traditionally ascribed authors of the canonical gospels.
