Affected Teaching
Luke then states that they which were of Paul’s company, including himself, that they went from Ptolemias to Caesarea. Paul‘s company would have included: (Acts 20:4 KJV) And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. Philip the evangelist must have been blessed mightily by God since he was able to have Paul and his company stay with him. Philip, as you may recall, was one of the seven Deacons who served in the church of Jerusalem. (Acts 6:5 KJV) And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: His home may have been the chief Christian center in Caesarea as a group of believers met there. There is no reason that the section which specifically points to the members of Paul’s entourage should be omitted. Luke was an eyewitness to much of Paul’s ministry and maybe that is why this portion is cut out because it gives a specific name to the witness, which was Luke.
