Saint Luke was for certain converted by Paul and many believe that he was probably a Gentile.

Paul converted Luke to be a follower of the Messiah.

But there is no scriptural evidence that he was not a Jew.

Paul converted Luke to be a follower of the Messiah.

And your contention was that through Paul, the Gospel was preached to the Gentiles. Luke was certainly a participant in that as Acts certainly shows.

But there is no scriptural evidence that he was not a Jew.

Many have long believed he was and his Gospel certainly emphasizes the positive attributes of Gentiles (the Good Samaritan).
