Everyone knows that ancient medicine had many flawed beliefs, but did you know that Luke gospel writer who accompanied Paul, was a medical doctor? Yet we notice that none of Luke’s medical advice or wisdom (incorrect though it might have been) found its way into the gospel of Luke or Acts. Luke was a careful, accurate historian, and if he had added things God did not want him to add, surely he would have added what he thought was good medical advice.
Kila mtu anafahamu kuwa tiba za kale zilikuwa na imani nyingi zenye dosari, lakini je unafahamu kuwa mwandishi wa Injili ya Luka aliyewahi kuandamana na Mtume Paulo, alikuwa daktari? Hata hivyo tunaona kuwa hakuna hekima au mashauri ya kidaktari ya Luka (hata kama yalikuwa sahihi) yaliyoingia kwenye Injili ya Luka au Kitabu cha Matendo ya Mitume. Luka alikuwa mwanahistoria mwangalifu na mwenye usahihi, na kama angeongeza mambo ambayo Mungu hakupenda afanye hivyo, ni dhahiri angeongeza mashauri ya fani ya tiba ambayo aliyaona kuwa mazuri.
