The gospel of Luke isn't dedicated to anyone it was given to a Roman Governor named Theophilus. Luke gave him the gospel and the book of acts to try and convince him to convert to Christianity and then so the rest of Rome would no more of Christianity and possibly convert.

Why were Mark and Luke not listed as apostles in the Gospels of Matthew or Luke?

A:Mark and Luke are not among the twelve disciples listed in the gospel, but were companions of St Paul. They therefore had no place in a gospel story about the life and mission of Jesus. Luke could have named himself as the author in the Gospel of Luke, especially as the book is dedicated to Theophilus, but for one problem - the third gospel was not really written by Luke. All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous until attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later in the second century. Much of Luke's Gospel was actually based on Mark's Gospel, so there is no good reason to accept the second-century attribution.

Did Luke write Luke's Gospel?

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.
