DOCTOR . In Luke 2:46 it is said that the boy Jesus was found in the Temple, ‘sitting in the midst of the doctors.’ The doctors were Jewish Rabbis. The Eng. word, like the Greek ( didaskalos ), means simply ‘teacher.’ So Luke 5:17 and Acts 5:34 , where the Gr. for ‘doctor of the law’ is one word ( nomodidaskalos ). Bacon calls St. Paul ‘the Doctor of the Gentiles.’
