The Gospel of Luke

The gospel of Luke is the first of a two-part account of Jesus' life and the emergence of the early Christian church. The second part is the book of Acts. Luke records more of Jesus' healings than either Matthew or Mark, and is a vivid storyteller. His understanding of Greek and the law are highlights of this gospel, which was written primarily for new converts to Christianity, though its message remains universal and timeless.
