Although Luke has a lot more in common with the other Synoptic Gospels (Mark and Matthew), it's interesting that he has some shared territory with John too! Both Luke and John mention-
Mary and Martha
-
Annas the high priest
-
Judas the disciple (not Judas Iscariot, the other one)
-
Details of Jerusalem and the Temple
-
Satan's involvement in the betrayal of Jesus
-
Malchus' right ear
-
Pilate's three declarations that Jesus was innocent
So did Luke read John? Did John use Luke? Probably not; there isn't enough of a correspondence for that to be credible. But they may well have used some of the same sources, or talked to some of the same people!
