Luke 1:1-4 - Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
I wonder how many others Luke knew of who had written about Jesus. How many more were there besides Matthew, Mark, and John? If there were only those 3, I doubt Luke would have said "many."
That said, those 3 and Luke himself (plus Paul and a few others later) are all we need. If there were more, they may not have been inspired by the Spirit anyway.
