Mark is thought to have been a personal acquaintance of Jesus. He might well have lived in the house where the Last Supper was eaten. He was a travelling companion of both Peter and Paul. When he wrote his Gospel, it was an edited version of information supplied by Peter.
Luke was a Greek doctor from Macedonia. He was a travelling companion of Paul. It is thought he was later acquainted with members of Jesus' family, as his Gospel refers to inside information that only the family would have known. He is also the author of Acts.

∙ 7y agoLuke is the person who was credited, later in the second century, with having written Acts of the Apostles. Paul briefly mentioned Luke in his Epistle to Philemon (verse 1:24), but provides no information about him. A later, pseudepigraphical epistle tells us that this Luke was a physician.
The real author of Acts was unlikely to have been the Luke that Paul knew, so we can not say who the author known to us as 'Luke' really was.
