The Gospel of Luke, the third of the Synoptic Gospels, was written by the disciple who went with Paul on his second missionary journey and was with him around the time Paul was executed. Luke was a physician who also wrote the Acts of the Apostles. His Gospel is meticulously arranged in chronological order and stresses His humanity. Luke's genealogy traces Jesus from Mary's side starting from Adam, as opposed to Matthew's genealogy, which traces His lineage from Joseph's side, beginning with Abraham.
