St. Luke, not himself an Apostle, wrote the following from the Sacred Tradition:
"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." - Luke 1:1-4
St. Mark was not an Apostle either so where did he get his Gospel?
Peace be with you
“St. Luke, not himself an Apostle, wrote the following from the Sacred Tradition:”
You’re not answering the question. I asked you if you believed the scriptures were not actually written by the Apostles, (or, in this case, their close associates) but were put together from oral tradition hundreds of years later. Luke, who also wrote Acts, obviously was not passing on what he heard after hundreds of years of tradition. He wrote according to what he received from the Apostles directly. Paul quotes Luke’s Gospel as scripture, right along side the books of Moses, and therefore holds that it is an inspired writing.
1Ti_5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
Luk_10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house
The Greek in Timothy follows Luke’s quotation. Which makes sense, since they were companions.
Did Luke write the Gospel of Luke, did Paul write his epistles, yes or no? It’s a simple question.
