Who of Jesus' disciples was also a doctor?
None of Jesus' 12 disciples was a doctor. Peter and Andrew were fishermen, Matthew was a tax collector. James and John were teenage brothers who were the son of a fisherman and likely to take over their father's business. We do not know the occupations of the others. However, the writer of the third gospel, Luke, WAS a doctor (that 'beloved physician' Paul called him. Luke wasn't one of the 12 original disciples but he was a friend and companion of Paul (the great evangelist and writer of many letters in the New Testament) on his missionary journeys across the Mediterranean sea area. Luke never met Jesus, but took it upon himself to research 'those things that have happened among us' as he put it, and record them in a logical and systematic way. As a result Luke wrote two books - his Gospel, telling the story of Jesus and the Acts of the Apostles - an account of the fledgling Christian church and Paul's missionary journeys of which Luke played an important part. It is believed that Luke questioned Peter, John and Mary the mother of Jesus (as she was taken into John's home after the crucifixion) as he researched his Gospel account. As a result, Luke's account contains the birth stories of Jesus (obtained from Mary), a great deal of the stories of Jesus' forgiveness of sins and Jesus' personal ministry (obtained from eyewitnesses Peter and John), and accounts of healing miracles (of interest to Luke as a doctor).

Was Luke a Greek doctor who wrote a Gospel?
A:Paul apparently had a companion called Luke, who was a physician. Whether he was actually Greek or was from another part of the Greek-speaking world is hard to establish for certain. The second-century Church Fathers attributed Luke with writing the third New Testament gospel, which had until then been anonymous, but this attribution is unlikely to be correct. So: Luke was a doctor; he might have been a Greek doctor; but he did not write a gospel.
