The author's name is not recorded anywhere in the gospel. Early Christian writings such as the [[Muratorian Canon]] and the works of [[Orenaeus]] name Luke as the author. Further evidence can be taken from the [[Book of Acts]], which is the continuation or companion book of the gospel of Luke, written by the same author. In Acts, the writer uses the pronoun "we" suggesting that the author was a companion of [[Apostle Paul|Paul]].
