Bible Question: Was Luke one of the 12 Disciples? Where did Jesus find him if he is? Can you provide references? |
Bible Answer: Dear Ladylkh, Though he was a writer of one of the gospels, Luke, as well as Mark,was not an apostle. He may have been a disciple, Luke 10:1, but the first that we see reference to him is as a writer of a gospel, the book of Acts and in II Corinthians 13:14, Colossians 4:14, II Timothy 4:11 and Philemon 1:24. He was not active until the time of the apostles, after the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ. His name is not a Jewish one, but a Gentile one so it is believed he is the only Gentile writer of the Bible. He may never have actually met Jesus before the Resurrection as Jesus never met Paul before the road to Damascus. It is believed by many that he got the information for the early part of Jesus's life from Mary, Jesus' mother because at the time he wrote his gospel, Mary was staying near where he was, under the hospitality of John the apostle. And it was thought that he would have had opportunity to interview her and so have information of Jesus' early life that others would not have had. I hope this is of some help to you. Itiswritten |
