St Luke had to overcome the problem of wishing to write Jesus's biography (now the Gospel of Luke) without ever having met Jesus. To that end, he meticulously interviewed many of the people who walked with, talked with, were healed by, or merely briefly encountered Christ. He was also Greek, which meant he was not always easily accepted by the Jews, who did not appreciate the Gentile influence. Luke was also one of Paul's most loyal followers, left alone to tend Paul when all others had left him (2 Timothy 4:11).

St Luke faced challenges such as persecution for being a Christian, opposition to his teachings, and the difficulty of spreading Christianity in regions where it was not well-received. He also encountered skepticism and disbelief from those who did not accept his message.
