Paul is the only Gentile

? St. Paul was of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin.

You mean St. Luke I guess?

I have corrected that about Paul.

BUT, I believe Luke was Jewish. He understood the Old Testament ,and seemed to refer to himself as a Jew in Acts.

I believe the idea of whether or not Luke was a Jew, or Jewish is answered for us in the book of Ruth.

The story of a kinship redeemer.

Who is redeemed, who is adopted? Who is a Jew? What is Jewish?

Personally, I believe all the disciples are Jews.
