Let me guess - she wrote it in Latin, with an infallible quill that never runs out of ink nor ever makes a mistake.Well that's weird.

Did “she” also write ACTS?

I love old paintings of artists doing art. Most of the equipment has not changed from then till now.

Luke tells us that he interviewed the surviving witnesses of the events he described, including (presumably) Mary. Since there is no further mention of Joseph after Jesus’ adolescence, I presume that he was not alive when Luke wrote, so the fact that Mary would be the source for Jesus’ birth and childhood narratives is plausible, but it doesn’t mean she wrote it (she was likely illiterate after all). Why do people feel the need to make up crap that the written Scriptures don’t support?

Fun stuff. If you search for images of “St. Luke and the Virgin” you’ll see a variety of techniques!

Carpenter doesn’t generally mean furniture maker, it refers more generally to workers in wood producing buildings, ships, etc.
To: 50sDad
The Bible does not call Joseph a carpenter. Rather it uses the Greek word for “builder”.

Aren’t there Aramaic translations? What word do they use?

Good question. I’d be curious about that myself.

Luke apparently interviewed Mary, or someone to whom she told her story, but I do not believe Mary wrote Luke’s Gospel or Acts of the Apostles.

Not written by Mary, but if one does an in-depth study of St. Luke, they will find that he was also an artist.
I’ve always figured that while she was posing for St. Luke, he asked questions and she answered them. That’s how he got Chapter 1: 26-—and onward.

Are you degrading the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity?
After all, The Holy Spirit is God, just as the Father and Son are God.

Let me guess - she wrote it in Latin, with an infallible quill that never runs out of ink nor ever makes a mistake.And since she didn't have any sex and kids, she became highly educated by attending University and then writing part of the bible...
And to know she was highly educated all we have to do is read the book of Mary (Luke)...She must have written Acts as well...Maybe Luke was just her pen name...

This is not news - that Luke got a great deal of his information from Mary has been a tradition of the Church for many years.Being a tradition does not mean there are any facts involved...The scripture does tell tho that Luke interviewed those with first hand information which would include Mary...

Reports from the eyewitnesses delivered to Luke that he put in order for his bud Theophilus. On another level, he was writing to Abraham, God's friend ("theophilus").
Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
