Doctor of the Law
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
May perhaps be distinguished from 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.
