Luke, Saint. First century A.D.

Companion of Saint Paul and author of the third Gospel of the New Testament. He is considered the patron saint of painters and physicians.

luke

the evangelist, was a Gentile. The date and circumstances of his conversion are
unknown. According to his own statement (Luke 1:2), he was not an "eye-witness
and minister of the word from the beginning." It is probable that he was a
physician in Troas, and was there converted by Paul, to whom he attached
himself. He accompanied him to Philippi, but did not there share his
imprisonment, nor did he accompany him further after his release in his
missionary journey at this time (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.

Irony of ironies eh? Not like everyone would've happily read through everything there. I swear my brain is completely screwed up. People please do not jump to conclusions! The new song is and the accompanying paragraph of text DO NOT refer to the same person! Sheesh! Can't a girl write a song for her friend anymore? Pffft... I'm watching Cruel Intentions now. "He told me he loved me! And I believed him! I'm so stupid!" HAHAHA!!!!! Funny! But then again it wasn't too long ago that I was walking down that road was it? Who gives a fuck anymore...

So... What's your name?
