Λουκᾶς, Λουκᾶ, ὁ (contracted from Λουκανος; (cf. Lightfoot on Col_4:14), Winers Grammar, 103 (97) (cf. Buttmann, 20 (18); on the diverse origin of contracted or abbrev. proper names in ἅς cf. Lobeck, Patholog. Proleg., p. 506; Lightfoot on Col_4:15)), Luke, a Christian of Gentile origin, the companion of the apostle Paul in preaching the gospel and on many of his journeys (Act_16:10-17; Act_20:5-15; Act_21:1-18; Act_28:10-16); he was a physician, and according to the tradition of the church from Irenaeus (3, 14, 1f) down, which has been recently assailed with little success, the author of the third canonical Gospel and of the Acts of the Apostles: Col_4:14; 2Ti_4:11; Phm_1:24.

Λουκᾶς Loukas 3x Luke, pr. name

Λουκᾶς , -ᾶ , ὁ (prob. an abbreviation of Λουκανός ; v. Lft ., Col., 240; ICC , Lk., xviii; Bl., § 29; acc to Ramsay , Exp., Dec., 1912, pp. 502 ff ., a by-form of Λούκιος , from Lat. Lucius), Luke: Lk, tit., Col_4:14 , 2Ti_4:11 , Phm_1:24 .†

Λουκᾶς [page 380] Λουκᾶς is generally treated as an abbreviated pet name from Λουκανός (cf. Lightfoot on Col_4:15 , Zahn Introd. iii. p. 5), this longer form being actually found in the title of the Third Gospel in various Old Latin texts (a, ff .2 , s), and on a V/A.D. sarcophagus at Arles (see JTS vi. p. 435). Others prefer the derivation from Λούκιος , and Ramsay ( Recent Discovery , p. 370 ff.) quotes inscrr. showing that in Pisidian Antioch Λουκᾶς and Λούκιος were interchangeable. : cf. Glotta iv. (1913), p. 78 ff. and the occurrence of Σελβεῖνα and Σελβεῖνας in the same letter, P Meyer 20 (1st half iii/A.D.), where see Deissmann s note. Apart from Christian inscrr. the name Λουκᾶς is found e.g. in a sepulchral inscr. from Apollonia, Preisigke 224 Αὔλου Αὐσο̣λήνου καὶ Ἐγλογὴ τ [οῦ ] Λουκᾶ : cf. also CIG III. 4759 and Add. 4700 k. On the discovery of Luke s name in an early form of the text of the Acts of the Apostles, preserved in a ii/A.D. Armenian catena, see Exp T xxiv. p. 530 f., xxv. p. 44.
