The Book ofLuke
New Testament · Book 42 of 66 · 24 chapters · 1,151 verses
Luke, the physician-historian, writes the most carefully researched Gospel — and the most tender. Outsiders take center stage: shepherds, women, Samaritans, tax collectors, the prodigal son. More than any Gospel, Luke shows Jesus praying at every turning point of His life.
