St. Luke begins his Gospel with the story that foretells the birth of St. John the Baptist, and the story that foretells the birth of Our Blessed Lord.
St. Luke wrote two books in the New Testament: the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.
St. Luke's Gospel speaks the most about Our Lady.
Acts is actually the second volume in a two-volume work by Luke, with the first volume being the Gospel of Luke. The Gospels tell the story of Jesus' life through his death and resurrection. Acts tells the story of how Christianity, the belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior, spread after his resurrection. It is primarily the story of the missionary activities of Paul. who does not appear in the Gospels at all.
A:Mark and Luke are not among the twelve disciples listed in the gospel, but were companions of St Paul. They therefore had no place in a gospel story about the life and mission of Jesus. Luke could have named himself as the author in the Gospel of Luke, especially as the book is dedicated to Theophilus, but for one problem - the third gospel was not really written by Luke. All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous until attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later in the second century. Much of Luke's Gospel was actually based on Mark's Gospel, so there is no good reason to accept the second-century attribution.
The Gospel reading is always taken from one of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Year A is Matthew, B is Mark, and C is Luke. St. John's Gospel is used throughout the each year.
The Gospel of Matthew is traditionally attributed to the apostle Matthew, while the Acts of the Apostles is traditionally attributed to Luke, a companion of the apostle Paul.
The Catholic Cycle for Liturgical readings for 2013 (Dec 2012-November 2013) is Sunday Cycle: Year C; and Weekday Cycle: Year I. Year C, the Gospel readings are taken mainly from the Gospel of St. Luke. The Gospel readings for weekdays are taken from St. Mark and St. Luke. St. John is used during Easter.
There is no direct evidence to suggest that Titus and St Luke were brothers. Titus is mentioned in the New Testament as a companion of St. Paul, while St. Luke is known as the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. They may have known each other and worked together, but there is no indication that they were siblings.
St. Luke, the Gospel writer and close associate of St. Paul, is not considered an apostle. The details of Luke's death are not known; even St. Jerome of the early centuries could not find any certain source as to how Luke died whether by natural causes or martyrdom.
The story of Joseph and Mary travelling all the way from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, where they found the inn had no room for them, is part of Luke's Gospel.Mark's Gospel and John's Gospel do not contain nativity stories, while Matthew's Gospel portrays Bethlehem as already the home town of Joseph and Mary. In Matthew, the young family already had a house in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:11) and first went to Nazareth years later (Matthew 2:23).
The symbol of St. Luke is an ox or bull, which represents sacrifice and strength. This symbol is often associated with St. Luke because his Gospel emphasizes Jesus' sacrifice and portrays him as the powerful and compassionate Son of Man.
