The gospel of Luke shows differences from Mark at the very beginning. The book starts with the telling of the birth story, one that is no where to be found in the gospel of Mark. Luke declares Jesus as devine, the first of many times the Lukean gospel works to show Jesus in a positive light.
Luke spreads the message that everyone is welcome in the kingdom of god, as well as adding a travel narrative to the story of the life of Jesus. A notable change made in the gospel of Luke is sequence. Luke takes events found in Mark, Q, and relayed orally and puts them in a sequential order. This is just one of many ways Luke brings clarity to the story of Jesus.
The gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, both written by Luke, show similarities that attest to Luke’s specific narrative. The healing of the roman slave in Luke, and the calling upon Peter to heal the gentile in acts both fit Luke’s attempt to bring Jews and non-Jews together in the kingdom of god.

The parable of the Good Samaritan, found exclusively in Luke is another analogy for this message. In this parable a Samaritan, known enemies of the Jews, stops to assist an injured Jewish man. Even though this parable is commonly viewed as a simple message to love thy neighbor now, it is a story that undoubtedly brought shock upon the people of the time. This story was likely used as a metaphor for Jesus’ desire to bring people together, even those previously in opposition.
It is made clear in this gospel that Jesus is seeking the faith of everyone, Jews and Gentiles alike. Even though the book of Matthew is directed towards the Jews, Luke shifts the narrative to emphasize Jesus’ desire to bring everyone to the kingdom of God, by directing his writings towards the Gentiles.
