Hi Nic, Well, I guess your study group leader pawned you off on us, because he didn't know the answer either. :-) The Bible doesn't really say; there may be some historical writings that could give some light, but since the Bible doesn't say, it may just be speculation, I don't really know. Let me offer this however, It would seem that Luke was a disciple of Christ, just as Paul was, and perhaps they just shared in the work of getting out the Word, equally. As to why he moved away from working with Paul, can, I'm sure, be attributed to the leading of the Holy Spirit for him to work in other areas. I pray this helps John |

Hi John: Paul was not a disciple of Christ, as Luke was, Paul was a Pharisee, then on his way to Damascus, he was knocked off his horse, and Effectivly DRAFTED into the Service of God. But as you say , it does not give us a reason as to why they went in different directions. Acts 22:3-8 3)I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4)And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 5)As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. 6)And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. 7)And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8)And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. In Gods Love Nevvvvine |

Hello Nevvvvine, Please forgive my intrusion, but as a manner of clarification, Paul was a disciple during the time Luke was with him. Paul may not have begun as a disciple, but certainly became one, and was called to be an Apostle. Luke, who was a disciple, was never called of God to be an Apostle Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary gives the following, in part, for the definition of disciple. 1: one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: as a: one of the twelve in the inner circle of Christ's followers according to the Gospel accounts b: a convinced adherent of a school or individual (fn1) The word "disciple" refers to a "follower." The word "apostle" refers to "one who is sent out." While Jesus was on earth, the twelve were called disciples. These disciples followed Jesus Christ, and were taught by Him. Following Jesus' resurrection, He sent His disciples out (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) to be His witnesses. Blessings, keliy |

Dear Keliy: I don't know if you saw my "thank you" in another post for correcting a mistake so, I thought I take the opportunity to thank you personally and, if I haven't done so already extend a warm welcome to the forum. God bless John |

Thank You, John Your gratitude is gratefully appreciated I am on a "forced vacation" right now, nothing bad -just seasonal, so I have a lot of extra time on my hands. This Forum gives me a productive outlet for the time given me, and simultaneously decreases the vast expanse between my Lord and I. Blessings to all, keliy He must increase, but I must decrease. (John Baptist) |
