Luke 3

In my last two blogs, I noted that as Luke began his record, he specifically tells the reader that its contents came -

"...as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses..." (New Testament | Luke 1:2)

Luke's record seems to be different from some of the other gospel writers in that he included events that were delivered to him by eyewitnesses. We see another of the events with the baptism of the Savior. It is apparent that eyewitnesses either in writing or as they witnesses told him -

"...it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." (New Testament | Luke 3:21 - 22)

Whether Luke was there as an eyewitness or another of the disciples, I have no idea. But I do sense that there was one present there that saw the heavens open and saw the Holy Ghost descent upon the Savior. And then also heard and understood a voice from heaven. For those that believe the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost never did talk to this eyewitness as Luke must have.
