If Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who died in April 4 BCE, then Mary must have been no less than 50 years old when Jesus died. In ancient times, living to the age of 50 was unusual for a commoner, so we could scarcely expect her to have lived much beyond the early 30s of the first century. Saint Luke would appear to have been a companion of the Apostle Paul in the 50s of the first century, so he would never even have met Mary.
In the second century, the previously anonymous third gospel was attributed to Luke the companion of Paul, but scholars say there is no good reason to accept this attribution. To distinguish the otherwise unknown gospel author from the first Luke, he is sometimes referred to as 'Luke the evangelist'. This Luke could not even have been born during the lifetime of Mary, mother of Jesus, as Luke's Gospel is dated to the end of the first century.
