Moving along. Verse 14: “Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas” (ESV). We spent last week discussing a good deal as pertains to Mark—who, we know—is the the Gospel writer of the book that bares his name, and Paul mentioned him in this letter to the Colossians in verse 10. Now we are presented with another famous Gospel writer, that of Luke. We are told that Luke is a “physician,” and this is the verse where this understanding pertaining to Luke comes from. It has even been suggested by some that Luke was actually Paul’s own physician who traveled with him for that very purpose, which may be the case. Hard to say for sure. It is suspected that Paul had some kind of alignment that affected his eyes, remember, the one that the Lord didn’t heal him from, but he rather let it remain in him as it worked to remind Paul that he wasn’t invincible or some kind of Christian superhero. Perhaps Luke helped him with that alignment. Could be.
