The '''Gospel of Luke''' is the 3rd book in the [[New Testament]] coming after the Gospels of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] and [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] and before the [[Gospel of John]].  It tells the story of the life of Jesus, being written to [[Theophilus]].  Luke does not claim to be an eyewitness, but instead one who has "carefully investigated everything from the beginning" (Luke 1:3) and now wants to "write an orderly account" so that Theophilus would "know the certainty of the things" he had been taught. (Luke 1:3-4)
