His background as a Gentile is suggested by his Greek name and the nature of his writings, which often emphasize the universality of the Gospel message. Luke's Gospel is noted for its detailed historical account and its focus on Jesus' compassion for Gentiles, women, and the marginalized. The Acts of the Apostles, also attributed to Luke, provides a historical account of the early Church and the spread of the Gospel after Christ's ascension.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>contr. from the Latin Lucanus<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Luke, a Christian<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Luke (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3065: Λουκᾶς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Λουκᾶς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Λουκᾶ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (contracted from <span class="greek2">Λουκανος</span>; (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span> on <a href="/interlinear/colossians/4-14.htm">Colossians 4:14</a>), <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 103 (97) (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 20 (18); on the diverse origin of contracted or abbrev. proper names in <span class="greek2">ἅς</span> cf.
