Who was Luke of the book of Acts in the Bible?

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.
