Luke-<br />
Some conclude Luke must have been a Gentile<br />
for Paul differentiates him <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews (Col.<br />
4:10-14). Paul wrote that, <strong>of</strong> his fellow-workers,<br />
Aristarchus, Mark, and John were <strong>the</strong> only ones<br />
who were Jews. <strong>The</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs (Epaphras, Luke, and<br />
Demas) were <strong>the</strong>refore probably Gentiles.<br />
Although if he was a Gentile he probably was a<br />
proselyte to Judaism before he became a<br />
believer. His view <strong>of</strong> Jerusalem and his<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> idioms and customs<br />
would indicate that he had extensive knowledge<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Jewish</strong> practices. Often referring to “GOING<br />
UP” to Jerusalem.
