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.
If you are speaking of Luke who wrote the "Gospel according to Luke" the answer is no. Luke was a physician (Colossians 4:14).
Luke's occupation was that of a doctor. It is written in Colossians 4:14, "Luke, the beloved physician." Colossians was written by Paul.
No, the Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective. We can determine that Luke likely interviewed Mary when he was working on his book, because there are things the Luke includes in his Gospel that none of the other Gospel writers include. There are things that only Mary would have known and so the fact they are in Gospel of Luke, he had to have talked to Mary to learn them.
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.
Suprisingly, Luke the physician wrote the largest section of the New Testament with his books Luke & Acts. Paul wrote more 'books' but stacked together they are less then Luke-Acts.
Luke was a companion of Paul, and not a apostle.
Luke was an apostle. He was a doctor also.

Saint Luke was an evangelist and not an apostle. He is credited with writing one of the four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles.
no he wasnt.
Yes, if you look in the Bible it should have Matthew then Mark then Luke.
yesAnother Answer:No, the Book of Romans is ascribed to the Apostle Paul who went to the Gentiles.
St. Matthew wrote the Gospel that is attributed to him. Acts was written by St. Luke.
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.
Luke was an evangelist and author of the Gospel of Luke and of the Book of Acts. He was also a physician and traveled with the Apostle Paul. Luke was a Gentile. Very little else is known of Luke.
