Question

Luke was a Greek physician and he never knew Jesus. According to the gospels Mary , Jesus mother, shared things with Luke that she never shared with anyone.

Answer 2

Luke was a physician. He wrote the gospel bearing his name, and also the book of Acts. He accompanied Paul on his travels. He was known as the beloved physician. His gospel was written primarily for the Greeks.
He is the only one to write of Christ's early years, having received the information from Mary, other eyewitnesses, and original companions of Christ. Yes Mary did give Luke what is commonly known as the Annunciation, or announcement of Christ's impending birth, which she had received from Gabriel when he appeared to her to tell her she had been chosen of God to bear the child.
Luke 1:26-38. Also in "Halley's Bible Hanbook" on the same passage.

Answer 3

As St. Luke says (St. Luke 1:1-4):

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Answer 6

Luke spent a great deal of his life traveling with Paul. He was Paul's personal physician. He obviously had opportunities to visit, and talk with many of the people who were mentioned in the New Testament.
He states in the intro to his gospel that he was careful to verify his facts, "so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught."

Answer 7

Luke was a medical doctor not a scientist. However he did become a believer, that is why he wrote the book of Luke and the Book of Acts.

Answer 8

Yup...a Greek physician who thought like a historian, and who loved God.

The gospels tell the same story through the eyes of different people, so different details will come through depending on the inclination of the author. The miracle is that the message, God's faithfulness and love toward His creations, is the same...different versions of the same story.

Answer 9

Not only that, the author of Luke copied extensively from Mark, and wrote probably 4 decades after the traditional date of Jesus' death.

Answer 10

I would tend to believe the Bible over you; one who wants us to disbelieve without any solid proof except your say-so. The Gospel of Luke is in perfect harmony with the other Gospels.
