This
Evangelist is generally supposed to have been a
Physician, and a companion of the
Apostle Paul. The style of his
writings, and his acquaintance with the Jewish rites and usages,
sufficiently show that he was a
Jew, while his knowledge of the
Greek language and his name, speak his Gentile origin. He is
first mentioned Ac 16:10,11, as with
Paul at
Troas, whence he
attended him to
Jerusalem, and was with him in his voyage, and
in his imprisonment at
Rome. This
Gospel appears to be designed
to supersede many defective and unauthentic narratives in
circulation, and to give a genuine and inspired account of the
Life, miracles, and doctrines of our
Lord, learned from those
who heard and witnessed his discourses and miracles.
