The Book of Luke is the third and by far the longest of the four Gospels that chronicle the life of Jesus Christ.

Well, Luke is the third Gospel (in the arrangement in which we typically have the books in our Bibles), but I would not say that it is "by far" the longest.
Luke has 24 chapters, Matthew has 28. So, it is the second longest in number of chapters. But the chapters differ in length, of course, and Luke turns out to have a greater average number of words in each chapter. So, it turns out that Luke is longer than Matthew by the number of words, but only by what I would consider a relatively small amount (Luke--has about 19482; Matthew--has about 18345).
