Was Luke a Greek doctor who wrote a Gospel?

A:Paul apparently had a companion called Luke, who was a physician. Whether he was actually Greek or was from another part of the Greek-speaking world is hard to establish for certain. The second-century Church Fathers attributed Luke with writing the third New Testament gospel, which had until then been anonymous, but this attribution is unlikely to be correct. So: Luke was a doctor; he might have been a Greek doctor; but he did not write a gospel.

Was Luke an apostle?

Assuming you are talking about the one from the Bible and not the one from Starwars, he was not one of the original 12 apostles. He was never mentioned as an apostle in the bible. I believe that a number of the apostle had trouble writing or were too busy preaching to write so they had other people record the ministry of Jesus for them. Luke recorded the ministry. The apostles lived it. I think Luke's role shows us that anyone can be useful to God. He didn't have to be an apostle to make an impact to the world. The apostle were being taught to preach about Jesus' life and resurrection. They were told to continue doing the miracles that Jesus had been doing during his ministry. They were also told that they would suffer and be perscuted like Jesus. I think it was for Luke's sake that he was not an original apostle but his part is just as important. He wrote about Jesus so that we can accurately read about it in the bible today.
