Lecenp has been busy with the name of Luke. The Greek Chureh, in which painting is regarded as a religious art, readily accepted the tradition which represented him as a painter, and the Greek painters carried it into Western Europe. A rude drawing of the Virgin, discovered in the Catacombs, with an inscription to the effect that it was one of seven painted by Luca, confirmed the popular belief that Luke the Evangelist was meant. According to the legend, he carried with him two portraits painted by himself—the one of the Saviour and the other of the Virgin—and by means of these he converted many of the heathen. .
When we apply to historical sources, however, we find very little about this evangelist. He never mentions himself by name in the Gospel or in the Acts, and his name occurs in only three passages of the New Testament: Col. iv. 14; 2 Tim. iv. 11> Philem. 24
That he was an Asiatic-Greek convert of Antioch, though rest- ing upon no conclusive evidence, is supported by the fact that he gives much information about the church there (Acts xi. 19, 30; xiii. 1-3; xv. 1-8, 22, 35); that he traces the origin of the name “Christian ” to that city, and that, in enumerating the seven deacons of Jerusalem, he informs us of the Antiochian origin of Nicholas (Acts vi. 5) without reference to the nation- ality of any of the others. That he was a physician and the companion of Paul are facts attested by Scripture, though his connection with Paul does not definitely appear before Acts xvi.
