Prac cally all we know of Luke (and it is not very much) comes from the New Testament. We do not know the place or date of his birth. In Paul’s Le er to Philemon (v.24) Paul refers to “Luke, my fellow worker”. In the Le er to the Colossians (4:14) he speaks of Luke “our dear physician”, so it is taken that he was a medical prac oner of some kind. In the Second Le er to Timothy (4:11) Paul says, “I have no one here with me but Luke”. He seems to have been a close companion of Paul on some of his missionary journeys and on his final journey to Rome. This is based on the belief that the Acts of the Apostles was wri en by Luke and that in the Acts a number of passages use the word “we”, sugges ng the writer was a companion of Paul.
It should also be strongly emphasised that Luke did not write as a historian but as an evangelist, proclaiming the message of Jesus as the Word of God to the world. Some early Church documents say that Luke died in Thebes, the capital of Boeo a. There is a tradi on that he was a painter and one well‐known icon of the Virgin Mary has been a ributed to him but with li le claim to historical accuracy. It is understandable why Luke should be made the patron of ar sts and doctors, when looking at his wri ngs and the emphasis he gives to Jesus’ healing ministry.
When represented with the other three evangelists his symbol is an ox, perhaps referring to the sacrifice in the Temple men oned at the beginning of his gospel in the scene of Zechariah and the angel announcing the birth of John the Bap st.
