Abstract
Why did the author(s) of the Gospel according to Luke consider that a new telling of the short history of belief in Jesus was necessary? Who’s telling needed correction? Mark’s? Matthew’s? Both?
In as much as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theoph’ilus, that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. (Luke 1:1–4).
