Here some say it is Luke but some say it is a unknown author.
The gospel author who traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam is Luke, in the Gospel of Luke chapter 3.
The author of the Gospel of Luke was a Greek physician.
What does the prologue (Luke 1:1-4) tell us about this author? How does it serve as an aid in understanding the Gospel of Luke?
For convenience, we call the (anonymous) author of Luke's Gospel, 'Luke'. However, the attribution to Luke, physician and companion of Paul, was only made later in the second century and is unlikely to be correct. We do not know who really wrote Luke's Gospel.
AnswerThe author of what is now known as Luke's Gospel then wrote Acts of the Apostles, forming a two-volume set.
He is believed to have been the author of the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.
Paul wrote the New Testament letters: Romans Galatians Ephesians 1&2 Corinthians Philippians Colossians 1&2 Thessalonians 1&2 Timothy Titus Philemon
A:We can not really say that Luke was chosen to write the third gospel, because it was originally anonymous and we know nothing about its unknown author. The Church Fathers of the second century chose Luke the physician as the probable author, in their view, because Luke seemed to have been an educated man who knew the apostle Paul. So Luke was only chosen retrospectively as the author.
There are 1151 verses in the Gospel of Luke.

Since Matthew's Gospel was written up to twenty years before Luke's Gospel, Matthew's account would have been first. However, we know that the author of Luke's Gospel knew nothing of Matthew's Gospel, and so could not harmonise his account with that of Matthew. This is why the two accounts are so completely different.
