Bible Question: Was Luke one of the 12 Disciples? Where did Jesus find him if he is? Can you provide references? |
Bible Answer: Luke was a Gentile believer and a doctor and was not part of the original twelve. Jesus did not find him, but Paul did. It is probable that he was converted in Troas. Acts 17:1 On Paul's third visit to Philippi (20:5,6) we again meet with Luke, who probably had spent all the intervening time in that city, a period of seven or eight years. From this time Luke was Paul's constant companion during his journey to Jerusalem (20:6-21:18). He again disappears from view during Paul's imprisonment at Jerusalem and Caesarea, and only reappears when Paul sets out for Rome (27:1), whither he accompanies him (28:2, 12-16), and where he remains with him till the close of his first imprisonment (Philemon 1:24; Col. 4:14). The last notice of the "beloved physician" is in 2 Tim. 4:11. There are many passages in Paul's epistles, as well as in the writings of Luke, which show the extent and accuracy of his medical knowledge. |
