Luke 1:1
The Birth of John
SUMMARY OF LUKE 1: Preface. The Announcement to Mary. The Visit of Mary
to Elisabeth. The Prophecies of Mary and Elisabeth. The Birth of
John. The Prophecy of Zacharias. The Child in the Deserts.
Forasmuch as many. Luke 1:1-4 are an introduction. They explain
that already many narratives of Christ had been written, that these
were by eye witnesses and ministers of the word, that Luke had made a
careful examination of all these sources of information, and thought it
good, "having traced all things accurately from the first, to write
them out in order" (Luke 1:3). We thus learn that at least as early as
twenty-seven years after the death of Christ (see Introduction to Luke)
many histories of eye witnesses and ministers had already written, of
which only two, Matthew and Mark, have come down to us.
