This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Having had perfect understanding (παρηκολουθηκότι)
Incorrect. The verb means to follow closely, and hence to trace accurately. See 2Ti 3:10, where Rev. reads thou didst follow for thou hast fully known. Rev. renders here having traced the course. The word occurs frequently in medical writings, and sometimes, as here, with ἀκριβῶς, accurately. Tynd., having searched out diligently.
From the very first (ἄνωθεν)
Lit., from above; the events being conceived in a descending series.
Accurately (ἀκριβῶς)
From ἄκρον, the highest or farthest point. Hence to trace down to the last and minutest detail.
In order (καθεξῆς)
Used by Luke only.
