Hi, I’m John and I was one of Jesus's closest disciples, sometimes I was called “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” I was crucified and later, I wrote the Gospel of John so that people could believe in Jesus and have life through Him. I wanted to show who Jesus really is. He is the Son of God and the Word made flesh. If I was to be represented by a symbol, it would be an eagle.The eagle resembles a vision and rising, which connects to how my Gospel looks at Jesus from a deeper, spiritual level.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.iAhDC6DM
Some of the main themes in my Gospel are light vs. darkness, love, and eternal life. I also had stories that show Jesus’ miracles, like turning water into wine, healing a blind man, and raising Lazarus from the dead.

My audience was everyone, but I especially wanted believers to grow deeper in their faith and to understand Jesus wasn't just a teacher, He was God himself.

Luke was a physician, a Gentile and a friend of the apostle Paul. Unlike Paul Luke was not one of Jesus’ original twelve disciples but rather a later follower of Christ. Luke wrote both the Gospel of Luke and the book of acts (Acts of the Apostles).

Luke emphasizes Jesus as a compassionate saviour, who provides salvation to all. He also puts an emphasis on the power of prayer, the Holy Spirit and the importance of humbleness and equity. He also puts an emphasis on women and the poor. His Gospel includes infamous stories like the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan and a story about a female sinner who washes Jesus’ feet.
