Colossians 4:14 Douay-Rheims

Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

"Luke, the beloved physician, saluteth you." This is the Evangelist. It is not to lower this man that he placeth him after, but to raise the other, viz. Epaphroditus. It is probable that there were others called by this name. "And Demas," he says. After saying, "Luke, the physician, saluteth you," he added, "the beloved." And no small praise is this, but be beloved of Paul even great exceedingly.
