Commentary on Luke 1:3
Luke's claim to 'perfect understanding' (Greek 'parekolouthekoti akribos') means he traced everything carefully from the beginning. This demonstrates both divine inspiration and human diligence in Gospel composition. The Reformed principle of verbal inspiration doesn't negate careful historical investigation; rather, God's sovereignty works through providential means. Luke's methodical research serves God's purpose of providing an orderly, accurate account.
