The Evangelist, according to ancient sources, was a physician who was born in Antioch and died at 84 in about 150 A.D. in the Greek city of Thebes. That can't be right. He'd 've been born in AD 64 by that reckoning, 2 years after he wrote his Gospel and the Book of Acts in AD 62. I'll wager they are off at least 30 years in their date of his death.

In an earlier test, the Jesuits found that there was talk that St Luke had a curved spine. The skeleton also had a curved spine.
The curved spine was from an afflication in St Luke"s old age. I believe the Jesuits found documentation that St Luke had it and that the match of the skeleton made it likely it was St Luke. I will see if I can find this article. Some of the medical studied have been going on for some time.

There were officially two heads of St. Luke...
I must have missed that part of Acts.
