Luke 1 on the sufficiency of what Luke wrote:

1Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, 2just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, 3it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; 4so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

Sounds like the Apostle Luke thought that what he wrote was the exact truth. Was he teaching fallacy? Was there more than the exact truth which he wrote down which is essential for our salvation? He does state that Theophilus was taught something which we do not have written record of, which would be the traditions of those who were there when it all went down, but Luke wrote what he wrote to show Theophilus the exact truth where the traditions might have things wrong.
