The account of Christ’s life as recorded by Luke is especially elegant and sensitive. Unlike Matthew, Mark, and John, who were Jews, Luke was a Greek, and his writing bears the marks of Greek literary beauty and precision. As a companion of Paul, as well as being a Greek, Luke understood the necessity of spirituality and the benefit of learning. He was known as “the beloved physician” (Col. 4:14), which suggests he was a person of considerable skills and learning.
