The Gospel of Luke is a
synoptic Gospel, and the third and longest of the four
canonical
Gospels of the
New Testament. The text narrates the life of
Jesus, with particular interest concerning his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection; and it ends with an account of the ascension. The author is characteristically concerned with social ethics, the poor, women, and other oppressed groups. Certain well-loved stories on these themes, such as the
prodigal son and the
good Samaritan, are found only in this gospel. The Gospel also has a special emphasis on prayer, the activity of the Holy Spirit, and joyfulness. D. Guthrie stated, “it is full of superb stories and leaves the reader with a deep impression of the personality and teachings of Jesus." The text is internally anonymous. One the two oldest surviving manuscripts
P75 (circa 200), has the attribution According to Luke . The other
P4 which 'is probably to be dated earlier than
P75 ...' has no such (surviving) attribution. Tradition holds that the text was written by
Luke the companion of Paul (named in
Colossians ) but scholars are divided on this issue.
