Commentary
The gospel according Luke is the third book of the New Testament. It tells the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The story told in Luke is continued by the same author in the sequel Acts of the Apostles.
Although the author's name is not recorded anywhere in the gospel, early Christian writings(e.g. the Muratorian Canon and the works of Orenaeus) name Luke as the author. The gospel is addressed to Theophilus(Luke 1:3). Theophilus may have been a Roman official. Two possible suggestions for the date of writing are between 59 and 63 AD, or around 80 AD.
