Hi Everyone,
Physicians are mentioned in a number of places in the Scriptures. There are two or perhaps three mentions of physicians that come immediately to my mind. I will place them in this order:
Physicians are mentioned in a number of places in the Scriptures. There are two or perhaps three mentions of physicians that come immediately to my mind. I will place them in this order:
- The account of Asa:2 Chronicles 16:12
12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to YAHWEH, but to the physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. - The woman with an issue of blood:Mark 5:25-26
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,Luke 8:43
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, - And of course Luke whom Paul refers to as the Beloved Physician:Colossians 4:14
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. (Literally: the physician, the one worthy of love. Was Luke the only physician worthy of love?) - Question: Why do you think that Paul referred to Luke as the Beloved Physician?
