| | Luke the Evangelist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Luke the Evangelist (Greek Λουκάς Loukas) is said by tradition to be the author of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, the third and fifth books of the New Testament. | | | Wenham asserts that Luke was "one of the Seventy, the Emmaus disciple, Lucius of Cyrene and Paul's kinsman." Not all scholars are as confident of all of these attributes as Wenham is. | | | There is no scientific evidence to support the tradition that Luke painted icons of Mary and Jesus, though it was widely believed in earlier centuries, particularly in Eastern Orthodoxy. |

| | Matthew the Evangelist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to Epiphanius, Bishop of Cyprus, Matthew the Evangelist was martyred in Hierapolis, and the Matthew who replaced Judas Iscariot among the twelve apostles is the one who died in Ethiopia. | | | Matthew the Evangelist (מתי "Gift of the LORD", Standard Hebrew and Tiberian Hebrew Mattay; Septuagint Greek Ματθαιος, Matthaios) is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of Matthew. | | | The same day on which Jesus called him he made a "great feast" (Luke 5:29), a farewell feast, to which he invited Jesus and his disciples, and probably also many of his old associates. |

| | Luke's is the gospel of the poor and of social justice. | | | It is Luke that we have to thank for the Scriptural parts of the Hail Mary: "Hail Mary full of grace" spoken at the Annunciation and "Blessed are you and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus" spoken by her cousin Elizabeth. | | | Luke is the one who uses "Blessed are the poor" instead of "Blessed are the poor in spirit" in the beatitudes. |

| | St. Luke |
| | Luke was a proselyte to the Christian religion, but whether from Paganism or rather from Judaism is uncertain; for many Jews were settled in Antioch, but chiefly such as were called Hellenists, who read the Bible in the Greek translation of the Septuagint. | | | Luke mainly insists in his gospel upon what relates to Christ's priestly office; for which reason the ancients, in accommodating the four symbolical representations, mentioned in Ezekiel, to the four evangelists, assigned the ox or calf as an emblem of sacrifices to St. Luke. | | | Luke was sent from Jerusalem to the Empress Pulcheria, who placed it in the church of Hodegorum which she built in her honour at Constantinople. |

| | Catholic Culture : Liturgical Year : October 18, 2004 : Luke |
| | Luke's Gospel is, above all, the Gospel of the Merciful Heart of Jesus. | | | Luke's Gospel is principally concerned with salvation and mercy; in it are preserved some of our Lord's most moving parables, like those of the lost sheep and the prodigal son. | | | For this reason the Gospel chosen for their feast is the account of the sending forth of the seventy-two disciples. |

| | St. Luke the Evangelist |
| | Luke's contribution to the cause of Jesus Christ are beyond all measure, and his early influence on the Christian scene has enabled the Christian Church to rise to its ever increasing influence in human experience. | | | An appraisal of the contributions to Christianity by St. Luke cannot be measured by the number of words he wrote, the miles he traveled in missionary journeys, or the number of years he spent in exclusive dedication to the service of Jesus Christ. | | | The awesome figure of St. Luke looms larger and larger out of both the New Testament and the pages of documented human history so that 2000 years after his death his image has no less been diminished by time than that of the Nazarene, Jesus Christ, whom he so nobly served. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gospel of Saint Luke |
| | Luke its always represented by the calf or ox, the sacrificial animal, because his Gospel begins with the account of Zachary, the priest, the father of John the Baptist. | | | Luke had a great knowledge of the Septuagint and of things Jewish, which he acquired either as a Jewish proselyte (St. Jerome) or after he became a Christian, through his close intercourse with the Apostles and disciples. | | | From this and the prologue of the Gospel it follows that Epiphanius errs when he calls him one of the Seventy Disciples; nor was he the companion of Cleophas in the journey to Emmaus after the Resurrection (as stated by Theophylact and the Greek Menol.). |

| | Among Eastern Christians the Hodigitria is the most venerated image of the Virgin and Child because tradition asserts that the original was painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on the kitchen table of the Holy Family’s house in Nazareth. | | | In addition to what Luke tells us about the Holy Family, he also records six miracles of Our Lord that occur nowhere else in the New Testament, including the raising of the widow of Nain’s son, the healing of the 10 lepers and the restoration of Malchus’ ear after St. Peter cut it off. | | | Eighteen parables are also unique to St. Luke, including such beloved stories as the Prodigal Son, the Rich Man and Lazarus, and the Pharisee and the Publican in the Temple. |

| | For the evangelist, Son of God also points to Jesus' divinity (cf John 20:28). | | | The reason why I came baptizing with water: in this gospel, John's baptism is not connected with forgiveness of sins; its purpose is revelatory, that Jesus may be made known to Israel. | | | Some suggest that the next day, beginning at sunset, was the sabbath; they would have stayed with Jesus to avoid travel on it. |

| | It is no wonder that of the many possible ways to celebrate the life and work of St. Luke the Evangelist, to the glory of God and for the welfare of His people, many congregations use this day to focus on the love and the healing power of Christ. | | | It has, therefore, been called 'the Gospel of mercy and love.' The beautiful passages of God's loving-kindness touch us deeply, for example the parables of the prodigal son and the Good Samaritan, the account of the penitent woman, and the good thief on the cross. | | | His witness to our Lord Jesus Christ is found in his two books, the Acts of the Apostles and the Third Gospel. |

Given his use of medical detail in the two books he wrote for the Bible, The Gospel According to Luke and The Acts of the Apostles, we might have guessed it ourselves. | | | Not only was he the only Gentile (non-Jew) to write books of the Bible, he was a close companion of Paul. | | | Luke pulled back the curtain on the young Jesus more than any other gospel writer. |

| | USCCB - NAB - Matthew 24 |
| | The Matthean addition raises a problem since what follows in Matthew 24:15-23 refers to the horrors of the First Jewish Revolt including the destruction of the temple, and Matthew, writing after that time, knew that the parousia of Jesus was still in the future. | | | [45-51] The second part of the discourse (see the note on Matthew 24:1-25:46) begins with this parable of the faithful or unfaithful servant; cf Luke 12:41-46. | | | [51] Punish him severely: the Greek verb, found in the New Testament only here and in the Lucan parallel (Luke 12:46), means, literally, "cut in two." With the hypocrites: see the note on Matthew 6:2. |
