Luke was a Gentile and a physician, very dear to the apostle Paul.  He was the apostle Paul fellow worker in spreading the faith and his attendant in both his Roman imprisonment.  Luke was probably a Syrian of Antioch, and may have been converted by St. Paul.

St. Luke wrote for the whole world, whether Jew or Gentile, but especially for Greeks, as Matthew for Jews, and Mark for Romans.

The last days, passion, resurrection, and ascension (Luke 20:1-24::53)

Isaiah received the prophetic call in the last year of King Uzziah’s reign (Isaiah 6:1), and prophesied during the reigns of the following three kings:  Jothan, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1).

Isaiah Chapters 40-66 …. restoration of Israel from Babylon.

Isaiah Chapters 49-53 … the prophecy of the servant of Jehovah, His Sufferings & Glory.  Isaiah 49-57 tells us of the personal Messiah.
