The Gospel written by Luke, the physician and companion of Paul, as an orderly account for Theophilus. It gives the fullest story of Jesus' birth and childhood, and many parables found nowhere else, including the good Samaritan and the prodigal son. It shows Christ's compassion for the poor, the outcast and the sinner, and closes with the resurrection and ascension.
