Bible Note: "Humanity, Intellectual Nature—Scripture demands full use of our intellect. Luke provides the example for all believers who study the gospel. He went to the proper sources—eyewitnesses, servants of the Word. He used his own skills to investigate the tradition he was given. He placed all he knew into sensible order. Such personal study brings certainty. God’s people are expected to use their full intellect to interpret the material He has inspired to be passed on." (Disciple's Study Bible) "LUKE 1:3 From In this formal preface, Luke is extremely careful to describe his method of researching and compiling material for his gospel. He stresses: (1) the corroboration of eyewitnesses (v. 2; also cp. 1 John 1:1); (2) scrupulous handling of truth (v. 2, “handed down,” and v. 3, “carefully investigated”); (3) comprehensive study (v. 3, “investigated everything from the beginning”; cp. Acts 1:1, “all that Jesus began to do”); (4) correspondence of written material with divine purposes and activities, i.e. the presence of inspiration (v. 4, “certainty”); (5) orderly presentation (v. 1, “draw up an account,” v. 3, “orderly account”). Such human care does not in the least lessen the role of the Spirit in directing the writer (for the origin and certainty of prophecy, see 2 Pet 1:19-21)." (New Scofield Bible) |
