COLOSSIANS—NOTE ON Colossians 4:14 Luke the beloved physician is the same Luke who wrote Luke and Acts 1:1 (see 2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 1:24). He went with Paul on some of his journeys. He was apparently with Paul during his imprisonments in Caesarea and Rome. Since Luke is not identified among “the only men of the circumcision” (Colossians 4:9), he was probably a Gentile. Demas later deserted Paul (2 Timothy 4:10).
