Luke 8 is the eighth chapter of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke the Evangelist, a companion of Paul the Apostle on his missionary journeys,[1] composed both this Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles.[2] This chapter mentions the women who supported Jesus and records some of the great miracles he performed, as well as several parables told by him.[3]
