What did the Apostle Luke accomplish?
Saint Luke was an evangelist and not an apostle. He is credited with writing one of the four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles.
Why is Luke called Saint Luke the Evangelist?
Luke is called Saint Luke the Evangelist because he is believed to have written the Gospel of Luke. He is also recognized as the patron saint of artists, physicians, and surgeons. His title "the Evangelist" is given to those who authored one of the four Gospels in the New Testament.
When was The Evangelist created?
The Evangelist was created in the 1st century AD, likely between 70-100 AD. It is one of the four canonical gospels of the New Testament in the Christian Bible, traditionally ascribed to the apostle Matthew.
Of the four evanglists which was not part of the synoptic writers?
Saint John (he wrote the gospel of john in the bible) is the evangelist who was not part of the synoptic writers. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke were known as the synoptic writers because they had many of the same stories in their gospels.
How many gospel authors are there in the Bible?
There are four gospels in the Bible, each written by a different author, so there are four gospel writers. All the gospels were written anonymously and only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. There is no good reason to believe that these were the actual authors of the gospels, so we do not know the names of the four gospel writers. John's Gospel might have been written by more than one evangelist.
Who was St. Mark the Evangelist of Venice?
St. Mark the Evangelist is one of the four authors of the New Testament Gospels. The city of Venice in Italy claims him as their patron saint, and his relics are said to be housed in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. St. Mark is traditionally believed to have been a companion of St. Peter and traveled with him to preach the Gospel.
What are the four narrative that cover the life and death of Jesus?

Why was Mark the evangelist?
A:The term 'evangelist' is used to refer to the authors of the four New Testament gospels. One of the gospels, now known as The Gospel According to Mark, was attributed to Mark, the companion of the apostle Paul, by Papias in the second century. The choice was limited to the eleven disciples of Jesus and the companions of Paul. Mark was chosen as the probable author of this gospel because Papias thought he might have also been the son of St Peter, or at least his secretary.
Who was four Gospels written by?
No one knows who wrote the gospels.
When was Mark the Evangelist born?
The term 'evangelist' is generally used to apply to the authors of the four New Testament gospels. All four gospels were originally anonymous, but were attributed by the Church Fathers, later in the second century, to the disciples thought most likely to have written them. Since we do not know who 'Mark' really was, other than that he was not the Mark mentioned by Paul, we can not say with certainty when he was born. What perhaps we can say is that if he was between perhaps 30 and 50 years old in the year 70, when he wrote the Gospel, he would have been born between about 20 CE and 40 CE.
Why did Matthew Mark Luke and John acquire the titles of evangelist?
The Greek word euangelistes, from which the word evangelist derives in English, means literally 'a messenger of good.' In New Testament usage it came to refer to one who was specifically a preacher of the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ.Since the four authors of the Gospels were giving four accounts of the life, teachings and particularly the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, they were all worthy of the title 'Evangelist.' The four Gospel writers thus deserve the title in a primary sense because they have preserved the essential elements of the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ.The addition of the titles kata Matthew, kata Mark etc refers to the fact that each Gospel was a unique rendering of the Gospel message attributed to a particular named and known person. The title kata, which in English may be rendered 'according to' is much the same as we today attach a title to a newspaper report about a particular event by a particular reporter. Although there are a great many similarities among the four Gospels, each author truly deserves the title of Evangelist, as they wrote for different audiences, with different styles, and at different times, the one message of good news in Jesus Christ. The four Evangelists were real people, who were known in person to the early church, as the titles suggest.
