Doctor of the Law

May perhaps be distinguished from SCRIBE, as rather teaching orally, than giving written opinions, Luke 2:46. It implies one learned in the divine law. Doctors of the law were mostly of the sect of the Pharisees, but are distinguished from that sect in Luke 5:17, where it appears that the novelty of our Savior's teaching drew together a great company both of Pharisees and doctors of the law.
