The four New Testament gospels were all written in Greek and were therefore written for Greek-speaking people. Scholars try to ascertain which community originally used which gospel, but there is no certainty. Some have pointed out that in Mark 2:4, they let the palsied man down through the flat roof, typical of Near Eastern housing, but when Luke retold this story, he said they let the man down through the tiled roof. Luke was writing for an audience that would not have understood the image of a flat-roofed house, so may have been writing for a Greek audience.

Another :Luke's gospel, with its opening mention of "perfect understanding" of the subject and its address to the "most excellent Theophilus" (Greek for "friend of God"), was the gospel intended for the Greeks.
