In the last five verses of his book, we find out what happened to John. But John was most likely warning people not to add anything to his writing only in the book of Revelation. Eventually the four Gospels were joined with other valuable writings such as the letters that Paul and others wrote. Other original Apostles also wrote things that were copied repeatedly. Remnants of these writings survive, but it is difficult to determine which are authentic.
When the New Testament was gathered into a single book, these writings were not included. After the four Gospels, the book of Acts records the events following the Ascension of the Savior.
Most scholars agree that Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles. Nearly all the rest of the books in the New Testament are letters, or epistles. Paul wrote most of these, but also included are letters written by James, Peter, John, and Jude. The book of Revelation, written by John, concludes the collection we now call the New Testament. You get a more in-depth understanding of events or parables when you read about them everywhere they are written.
Try looking up the baptism of Jesus. You will see that it is mentioned in all four Gospels. John has the most unique material in his book. About 90 percent of the information in the book of John is not in the other three Gospels.
Illustrated by Paul Mann. The Scriptures are silent as to when or where Dr. Luke came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior.
We do know that the Apostle Paul did not lead him to the Lord; otherwise, he would have called him his son in the faith. Perhaps he was part of the Hellenist Greek group was the converted in Acts If it is reliable, there is an interesting addition in Acts of the Codex Bezae D, a 5th century AD manuscript that is now housed at Cambridge University.
It would demonstrate that Luke was part of the early church at Antioch. Luke was in Antioch at the time of the famine. The Apostle Peter was also in Antioch at this time and it would account for how and where Luke got his information about Peter when he wrote Acts Finegan These are passages where Luke includes himself in the narrative because he was with the Apostle Paul.
Paul, Silas, and Timothy arrived at Alexandria Troas. Luke now included himself with the Apostle Paul and his team. William Ramsey suggested that Luke was the man who appeared in the vision to Paul, but others do not concur with his view. When they arrived at Philippi, Paul and Silas, both Jews, were arrested and brought before the magistrates Acts Luke and Timothy are not arrested because both were Gentiles.
Luke is no longer with them because he stayed back at Philippi. Some have suggested this was his home town, or at least his adopted home town. Luke joined Paul and seven other brothers who were taking the collection to the needy saints in Jerusalem Acts Luke went to Jerusalem with Paul at the end of his third missionary journey. Luke until Paul appealed to Caesar and boarded a ship towards Rome. It was at this time that Luke and Aristarchus boarded the ship along with Paul , cf.
What was Dr. Luke doing for the two years AD while Paul was in prison? I am certain that he was one of those visiting Paul in prison Acts But more than that, most likely, he used this time to gather material for his gospel. There are several things to note in this passage. First, there were other gospels already circulating. According to Church tradition, Matthew was the first gospel written, and Mark, writing on behalf of Peter, was the second gospel written.
Luke took advantage of this time in the Land of Israel cf. I am sure he spent time in Nazareth talking with Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus, and obtained the details of the birth of the Lord Jesus from her.
The account in Luke 1 and 2 was written in medical language. Luke recorded and was a medical miracle! The identity of this individual has been debated in scholarly circles and a number of individuals have been suggested.
Paul, Luke, and Aristarchus embarked on a ship bound for Adramyttium. When they reached the port of Myra they transferred to an Alexandrian grain ship headed for Rome. Luke gave a vivid nautical description of the journey, the storm, and the shipwreck on Malta. While on Malta, Paul and Luke had a healing ministry. Paul went into him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed iasato him.
Two different Greek words are used in this passage for healing. The spiritual and physical go hand-in-hand in a healing ministry. He was allowed to have visitors and Dr. Luke was one who attended his physical and medical needs. When Paul wrote to the saints in the Lycus Valley, he sent greetings from Luke. Luke was known in Colosse and by Philemon who also lived in Colosse.
This has raised some interesting questions. When did they meet Luke? Had he been to the Lycus Valley? If so, when? I would like to suggest that Luke had been through the Lycus Valley on his way to Philippi. Luke go to Philippi in Macedonia. Luke travelled through the Lycus Valley and gave greetings from Peter and told them about Paul. While in Rome, Paul had daily prayer meetings in a rented apartment.
These meetings included those who were ministering with him and to him Col. Luke considered prayer important. That's why in medical treatment natural products were used in combination with either personal dialogue as applied Empedocles BC or music, as reflected in the myth of Orpheus and applied by the Pythagoreans.
It is precisely this global harmony that those contemporary to Luke, the physicians of Asclepius, were trying to achieve, bringing patients to the Holy of Holies in the Temples of Epidaurus or Pergamum, in an area that was part of heaven and Paradise on earth, so that through dreams and the symbolic mainly through the serpent appearance of the god it would restore the impaired unity of themselves with the god and be healed. It really is worth a closer investigation how paralysis, blindness and sterility were cured, as they took place at the Temples of Epidaurus and Pergamon and reflected in the thanksgiving offerings of patients, which were brought to light by the ancient Greek shovel.
Long before Viktor Frankl recorded that the primary cause of neurosis in adults is the lack of religiosity, the ancient people equated the Holy of Holies with the place of the treatment of disease, and they discovered the root cause of human disease. With the information above the interest of Luke with nature, man and God can be understood.
Lienk-Danzig writes characteristically: "Paracelsus claimed that the physician comes from God. We doctors are deacons and servants of life To examine and heal is a creative act, even though the medical establishment or better re-establishment is a relative and not absolute divine work, because the physician is and remains a person. However to create one must have continuous clean hands and a pure heart. The distinction of physician and priest is distinguished in modern times and is followed by the distinction of body and soul, subject and object, thought reason and emotion, conscious and unconscious.
Medicine became lifeless and pastorship otherworldly. Lienk-Danzig notes again: "The new rediscovery and recognition of the 'soul' factor has been a heavy burden in medicine for many years. Without this factor things would honestly be more comfortable. The appearance of this factor is sure to shake much conclusive data in science. First, there exists a personal relationship between the healer and the one being healed. Usually treatment precedes a dialogue in which the patient feels real love and interest from the Lord.
This element causes special interest today where the physician is altogether lost behind the multitude of diagnostic equipment and other medical machines, thus creating an impersonal and professional relationship with his patient client, who instead of receiving at some point a real life-giving word or advice from their healing physician, they receive a recipe made of some chemical compounds capable of sedation or even partial cure of the diseased organ, but not the ability to provide comprehensive and total treatment.
Second, the physician Luke insists on treating not only the body, but also the soul. The Lord, Who is "the physician of soul and body" Epistle of Ignatius to the Epheisans , did not aim towards a psychoanalysis that shreds people into even more pieces, but towards psychosynthesis, which is provided by finding a reference center, located not in the distant universe, not in human reason, but in God and the heart, since God resides in the heart. In the sixteenth century, Painting Academies were to be called "Saint Luke's" Apart from being famous as a doctor, Luke is known as Virgin Mary's painter.
In his gospel he was speaking about her in detail and with tenderness. In Syria and in Rome some paintings were attributed to him. In some fifteenth century engravings, Luke was depicted as a writer of the Gospel or a painter, and sometimes he was dressed as a physician.
