   Answer; not that I can find.  Friend james says they did and thuse the   
   Aacts to "abstain from strangled animals and blood".  He also sid Luke was   
   a physician and would know about it.   
      
   Beelow 2 things, role of Luke in the acts event; scholars on egypt and   
   transfusions.   
      
   1. Luke wrote of the church council in Acts meeting to decide what gentile   
   converts should do about OT laws.  The main topic was circumcision,   
   gentiles should forget it.  The bit above was a minor add on of what to

   sick and rejuvenate the old. In 1492, blood was taken from three young men   
   and given to the stricken Pope Innocent VII in the hope of curing him. It   
   is the first time a blood transfusion was recorded.

   Nevertheless, the idea of taking blood from one individual to infuse it   
   into another is quite old. Although it was not performed by the ancient
