       It is suspected that Paul had some kind of alignment that affected his eyes, remember, the one that the Lord didn’t heal him from, but he rather let it remain in him as it worked to remind Paul that he wasn’t invincible or some kind of Christian superhero. Perhaps Luke helped him with that alignment. Could be. Nonetheless, we can also note from this that Luke was likely a Gentile, because Paul said in verse 11, which we covered last week, he said in mentioning the three men before that that they were the only Jewish brothers with him. This would seem to denote that Luke was not Jewish, though, some argue that he truly was. Anyhow, in moving along to Demas, he is noted as working in Paul’s group for the kingdom of God. He is also mentioned in Paul’s letter to Philemon as being a fellow worker (see Philemon 24, ESV). What probably comes to our minds, though, is what Paul would say in regards to him at the end of his life.
