St. Luke and Mary, is there a patristic source that Luke got his Gospel of Luke from Mary?

[Mannyfit75]

is there a patristic source that Luke got his Gospel of Luke from Mary? The infancy Gospel have a detail account of the birth of Jesus must have come to Mary as Luke’s source. Since none of the Apostles or Paul were present at the time of Jesus’ birth. Only Mary lived through that time.

[Joe_Kelley]

Note Luke 1:1-4

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, 2* just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, 3* it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely * for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4* that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed.

Mary was the only living eyewitness to many of the things he wrote.

 

[Luigi_Daniele]

Note Luke 1:1-4 Mary was the only living eyewitness to many of the things he wrote.

John?

 

[Joe_Kelley]

John?

John was a bit young to be at the stable in Bethlehem.

 

[Brendan]

John was a bit young to be at the stable in Bethlehem.

Or with Mary at the Annunciation.

Now, Granted, John could have received those stories from Mary and relayed them to Luke, who was then inspired to record them as Scripture

 

[Dovid]

I am an historian and as far as I can tell, the Patristic sources and the Ecclesiastical History by Eusebius agree that St. Luke researched his Gospel carefully and drew from many sources. Certainly Our Lady was a principle source.
