{{Yesu Kristo}}
'''Mwinjili Luka''' (kwa [[Kigiriki]] Λουκᾶς, ''Lukas'') ni [[Mkristo]] wa [[karne ya 1]] ambaye tangu zamani za [[Mababu wa Kanisa]] anasadikiwa kuwa [[mwandishi]] wa [[Injili]] ndefu kuliko zote za [[Biblia ya Kikristo]]. Humo alisimulia kwa [[ufasaha]] na kupanga kwa utaratibu mzuri matendo na mafundisho ya [[Yesu]], akastahili kuitwa "mwandishi wa [[upole]] wa [[Masiya|Kristo]]" ([[Dante Alighieri]])<ref>https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/21800</ref>.

Vilevile anasadikiwa kuwa mwandishi wa [[kitabu]] cha [[Matendo ya Mitume]] kinachoendeleza Injili hiyo ili kuonyesha kazi ya [[Yesu Kristo]] ilivyoendelea katika [[Kanisa]] lake kwa nguvu ya [[Roho Mtakatifu]] hadi [[mwaka]] [[63]] [[Baada ya Kristo|BK]]. 

Hivyo Luka, mtunzi pekee wa [[Agano Jipya]] asiye [[Myahudi]], anahesabiwa kuwa ameandika [[robo]] ya sehemu hiyo ya pili ya [[Biblia]] nzima ya [[Ukristo]]. 

Pamoja na Wakristo wengine wengi, [[Kanisa Katoliki]] linamheshimu kama [[mtakatifu]] na [[msimamizi]] wa ma[[daktari]] hasa katika [[sikukuu]] yake, tarehe [[18 Oktoba]]<ref>[[Martyrologium Romanum]]</ref>.

== Maisha ==
Luka alizaliwa katika [[familia]] ya [[Kiyunani]], labda mjini [[Antiokia]] ya [[Syria]], leo nchini [[Uturuki]]. 

Inasadikiwa aliongozwa na [[Mtakatifu Paulo|Mtume Paulo]] kumpokea Yesu na alifanya naye kazi kwa takribani miaka 18. Pamoja na ukaribu huo, hata hivyo hakuandika tu mitazamo ya Paulo, hii ni kuonesha kuwa aliyaandika yale aliyovuviwa na Roho Mtakatifu baada ya [[utafiti]] wa [[historia|kihistoria]] katika vyanzo mbalimbali.

Anatajwa na Paulo katika [[barua]] zake kama [[mganga]] aliye jirani naye katika ma[[jaribu]] yake: [[Waraka kwa Filemoni]], mstari 24; [[Waraka kwa Wakolosai]] 4:14 na [[Waraka wa pili kwa Timotheo]] 4:11. 

Uaminifu huo wa Luka kwa Paulo unalingana na habari za Matendo ya Mitume, ambapo Luka hajitaji, lakini anasimulia [[safari]] za Paulo akitumia mara nyingi neno "sisi". Hivyo anajishuhudia kuwa mshiriki wa [[utume]] wake.
