… ni we dukesha “Ndakuramutsa Mariya”,“indirimbo ya Bikira Mariya (Magnificat)”,“indirimbo ya Zakariya” ( Benedictus) n’“indirimbo ya Simewoni” (Nunc dimittis.)…

Bavuga ko Luka yavukiye i Antiyokiya muri Aziya ntoya (muri Turukiya y’ubu). Yize amashuri akomeye y’icyo gihe, amenya ikigereki, igihebureyi, Filozofiya n’ubuganga. Nuko aba umwigishwa w’Intumwa mu ba mbere, cyane cyane yigishwa na Mutagatifu Pawulo. Bajyana henshi Pawulo yajyaga kwigisha. Ndetse inshuro ebyiri zose igihe Pawulo yafatwaga agafungwa, bari kumwe nubwo we atafashwe. Aho amariye kumenya Ivanjili, yafashije Pawulo kuyigisha. Luka ni umwanditsi w’Ivanjili ya gatatu n’uw’igitabo cy’Ibyakozwe n’Intumwa. Yakoze imirimo ikomeye cyane mu Isezerano rishya.

Nk’uko kandi bigaragara mu nyandiko ze zose, bavuga ko yari umuganga Antiyokiya, ari na ho yamenyaniye na Pawulo Intumwa ndetse bakaba inshuti zikomeye. yaherekeje Pawulo mu ngendo ze zose za gitumwa, nyuma aza no kumuherekeza i Roma. Pawulo Intumwa na we kenshi mu nyandiko ze yakunze kuvuga inshuti ye Luka. Hari aho agira ati: “arabatashya Luka umuganga dukunda”. Na none akongera ati : “ Luka ni we wenyine tukiri kumwe”. Ikindi kizwi rero ni uko Luka yabaye umutagatifu wakunzwe n’abantu cyane. Bavuga ko kuva na mbere yashikiranaga n’abantu cyane kandi akagira ubupfura n’imico myiza. Ibyo bigaragarira no mu nyandiko ze ko yakundaga abantu kandi akagirira n’impuhwe abakene.

Luka ni we dukesha “Ndakuramutsa Mariya”, “indirimbo ya Bikira Mariya”, ( Magnificat), “indirimbo ya Zakariya” ( Benedictus) n’ “indirimbo ya Simewoni” (Nunc dimittis.) Luka atugezaho kandi byinshi byerekeye Yezu ndetse n’ivuka rye. Mariya nyina wa Yezu afite umwanya urambuye mu byerekeye ivuka n’ubuto bwa Yezu kuko ari we ubwe wabimwibwiriye. Kuba Luka yaramenyanye na Bikira Mariya ni cyo cyatumye bavuga ko Luka ari we wa mbere washushanyije ishusho ya Bikira Mariya.

Umwe mu banditsi bo mu kinyejana cya II yanditse kuri mutagatifu Luka. Nuko mu gusoza yandika agira ati: “yakoreye Nyagasani ubudahwema, yigomwa urushako n’urubyaro, ageza ubwo yitaba umuremyi afite imyaka 84, akimurikiwe na Roho mutagatifu.” Nyuma y’urupfu rwa Pawulo Mutagatifu, Luka na we yaba yaragiye kwigisha Mu Butaliyani no mu turere two hafi aho, no muri Bitiniya. Ntibazi neza iby’urupfu rwe.
