1 | Eph. 4:11 gifts applicable today? | Eph 4:12 | bro Raymond | 173353 | ||
Luke was a disciple/ a follower(definition,1 Cor.11:1) of Paul on his second missionary journey joining Paul in Troas or sometime before(Acts16:8) since it is generally accepted that Luke is the writer of the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles. (You will notice that the writer of Acts begins to use the third person, "we", "us" from this point on, in the book.) From this point on he was his constant companion. He was with Paul when he sent greetings, Col.4:14 and Phile.24 (N.B. Lucas is a variant of Luke as Silvanus is a variant of Silas, evidenced in Paul's writings). |

Word Study ... Mimetes, Mathetes ................. 1 Corinthians 11:1 does not say Luke was a disciple/ a follower of Paul. The word is Mimetes (cf 1Co 4:16; Eph 5:1; 1Th 1:6, 2:14; Heb 6:12). He is talking to the Corinthian not Luke. Mathetes is the word for disciple, and I don't think is related to Mimetes. Just because someone was with Paul, does not make them a disciple. Searcher |
