Was Luke a liar too? Acts 14:14
Was Peter hoodwinked? 2 Peter 3:15-16
Were John, the apostle's, disciples, Polycarp and Ignatius, and other early church fathers also hoodwinked?
FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT [A.D. 30-100.] Chapter 5
Paul also obtained the reward of patient endurance, after being seven times thrown into captivity, compelled to flee, and stoned. After preaching both in the east and west, he gained the illustrious reputation due to his faith, having taught righteousness to the whole world, and come to the extreme limit of the west, and suffered martyrdom under the prefects. Thus was he removed from the world, and went into the holy place, having proved himself a striking example of patience.
CHAPTER 47
Take up the epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul. What did he write to you at the time when the Gospel first began to be preached? Truly, under the inspiration of the Spirit, he wrote to you concerning himself, and Cephas, and Apollos, because even then parties had been formed among you.
EPISTLE OF MATHETES TO DIOGNETUS [A.D. 130.] CHAPTER 3
EXPRESSIONS OF PERSONAL UNWORTHINESS
For neither I, nor any other such one, can come up to the wisdom of the blessed and glorified Paul. He, when among you, accurately and steadfastly taught the word of truth in the presence of those who were then alive.
EPISTLE OF POLYCARP TO THE PHILIPPIANS [A.D. 65-100-155.] CHAPTER 11 [Polycarp was a disciple of the apostle John]
But who of us are ignorant of the judgment of the Lord? Do we not know that the saints shall judge the world? as Paul teaches. But I have neither seen nor heard of any such thing among you, in the midst of whom the blessed Paul labored, and who are commended in the beginning of his Epistle.
EPISTLE OF IGNATIUS TO THE EPHESIANS [A.D. 30-107.] Chapter 11 [Ignatius was a disciple of the apostle John]
May I attain to this, so that I may be found in the lot of the Christians of Ephesus, who have always had intercourse with the apostles by the power of Jesus Christ, with Paul, and John, and Timothy the most faithful.
Chapter 12
Ye are initiated into the mysteries of the Gospel with Paul, the holy, the martyred, the deservedly most happy, at whose feet may I be found, when I shall attain to God; who in all his Epistles makes mention of you in Christ Jesus.
