The Life of Yeshua the Messiah from a Jewish Perspective Part 1

Luke-
Luke claimed to be a historian (Luke 1:1-4). He
carefully researched his material for specific
reasons. He consulted eyewitnesses for
information (1:2). He may have gathered certain
details, such as facts on Jesus’ youth, from Mary
herself (cf. 2:51). Luke also seemed to have had
contacts with the Herodian court (cf. 3:1, 19;
8:3; 9:7-9; 13:31; 23:7-12). Scholars do not
agree on which sources Luke used in writing his
Gospel. He may have reworked various source
materials at his disposal in order to create a
unified whole, written in his style, which reflected
his rpose. All this, of course, was done under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit
