Matthew and John were apostles and so they were eyewitnesses of Christ's life.&amp;nbsp; Mark seems to have seen Christ as well, though he was not an apostle.&amp;nbsp; Luke, however, places himself outside of the group of eyewitnesses &amp;nbsp;(Lk 1:2). Luke, whom Paul calls &quot;the beloved physician&quot; (Col 4:14) was a companion of Paul, seeming to join him on his second missionary journey (Acts 16:9,10 ... &quot;we sought to go&quot;).&amp;nbsp; Luke continued, in some fashion, with Paul until the end of Paul's life (2 Tim 4:11). In the first paragraph of Luke's gospel, he gives us a general purpose for his writing ... namely, to confirm the faith of a certain Theophilus.&amp;nbsp; This gospel certainly strengthens the faith of all who take to heart what is written about Christ.&amp;nbsp; Luke's gospel comes the closest to 'biography' than the other three gospels. &amp;nbsp;He seems to be writing gospel for the Gentile public, displaying Jesus as the Savior of the world.
