St. Luke

The Winged Ox

St. Luke the Evangelist is known as the author of the Third Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. St. Luke became a close friend and companion of St. Paul, who called Luke "the most beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14). St. Luke is not counted as one of the Twelve Apostles, but is included among the larger group of 70 disciples appointed by Christ.

“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, spray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. Luke 6:27-31

This is another version of St. Luke. This one is carved into the pulpit.
