Who was Luke?

Who is the Luke in Scripture?

Luke was a Gentile (Colossians 4:11-14). Jerome and Eusebius tell us Luke was from Antioch in Syria.
We do not know how he was converted, but it’s probably he was converted by the Apostle Paul.
He was a doctor (Colossians 4:14) and a historian.
“Luke/Lucanus” was a slave name and many Roman slaves were physicians. Luke could have been a freed slave.
He wrote both the Gospel that bears his name and the book of Acts. Many scholars think he wrote them while in Rome with Paul during Paul’s first imprisonment.
Luke joined Paul on his second missionary journey in Troas (note the “we” in Acts 16:10-16). Luke remained in Philippi after Paul left (note “they in Acts 17:1).
Luke rejoined Paul when Paul passed through Philippi on his way to Jerusalem at the end of his third missionary journey (note the pronouns in Acts 20:5-6).
It appears Luke traveled with Paul from this time on.
Luke stayed with Paul as Paul awaited execution in a Roman prison (2 Timothy 4:11).
Some traditions claim Luke died by martyrdom between 75-100 AD. Other traditions claim he died a natural death and was buried in Bithynia.
