Doctor Luke
Luke, the writer of the
New Testament books the Gospel of Luke, and the Acts of the apostles,
was a physician by trade. From his writings, it is also clear that he
was a very learned man.
Luke
first met the apostle Paul at Troas on Paul's second missionary
journey. On Paul's third missionary journey, we find Luke living in
Philippi.
It would
appear that Doctor Luke was a constant companion of the apostle Paul
through his first imprisonment in Rome. And even during his second
imprisonment to some extant.
He
was Paul's medical advisor and undoubtedly prolonged Paul's life and
rescued him from many a serious illness. he was a medical missionary.
There
are several Church traditions as to his manner and place of death. One
is that he died peacefully in Boeotia and the other is that he was
crucified with the apostle Andrew at Patras or at Elaea in Peloponnesus
