Something Many as well as myself was taught is that Luke was divinely inspired. However by Luke’s own introduction we read this — Luke 1:1 —3, “Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,” Luke was Syrian and not in the land of Israel while the events surrounding Yeshua/Jesus were happening. Luke tells us by his own words that what he is writing is hearsay and being conscientious he questioned many people to learn the things they observed and heard.
