St Luke The Evangelist6132635

St. Luke was the creator of the Gospel of St. Luke and The Functions of The Apostles. His identity as author of these textbooks of the Bible has been verified by the early Church Fathers, St. Jerome, and Eusebius. He was a disciple and companion of the apostle St. Paul and accompanied him until St. Paul's martyrdom. He has been identified in St. Paul's Letter to the Colossians (Col four:fourteen) as "Luke, the beloved physician". St. Luke was not a Jew. He was a gentile. And, as a result was in a position to create and communicate with the gentiles based on their tradition and customs. He lived in the Greek city of Antioch which is ancient Syria.

He was a really properly educated gentleman and a doctor by trade. He was also a really talented artist and painter. St. Luke is mentioned to be the initial painter of Christian icons. Amid the icons painted by St Luke are photographs of The Blessed Mom Mary - Our Lady of Czestochowa and Our Lady of Vladimir, St. Peter, St. Paul, and other icons of Jesus and Mary.

Â· The Parable of The Excellent Samaritan which describes the charity of a stranger

Â· The Parable of The Prodigal Son which describes the all merciful adore of a father

Â· The Parable of The Lost Sheep clarifies how Jesus as the shepherd seeks the misplaced sinners and delivers them back again to his fold
