The Gospel according to Luke

Lindisfarne Gospels, ca. 700 A.D.

“The third evangelist, St Luke, is shown accompanied by his

traditional symbol, a calf or young ox. He is seated in much the same

pose as that adopted for St Matthew and, like him, is heavily bearded though portrayed as a

much younger man.”

Luke’s Prologue

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished

among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also,

having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most

excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught. (Luke

1:1-4 ESV)
