What do people think about John the Baptist even before he is born? Note: Sometimes a big introduction is given for a person who then introduces someone even more important. Luke is announcing the announcer of Jesus.
John the Baptist was a miraculous child born to an old God fearing couple. This child came with an already identified mission which He did very well, to announce the coming of the Messiah, to prepare His way, to make the people ready to hear the goodnews of the Kingdom of God, to soften thier hearts. However, some people had a feeling the John was the one to come, that's why He made it clear in his messages, that one above him was just following behind. They thought John had come from Heaven, a great prophet.

Luke starts Jesus` story with the prediction of the birth of John the Baptist. According to Luke, what did the angel Gabriel predict as the future role of John the Baptist?
The role assigned to John the Baptist was to prepare the way for Jesus. To make the people in whom Jesus was coming to preach the Goodnews of the Kingdom of God ready to recieve Him. To soften their hearts to the word of God, because John came in a time were Israel was being led astray by the chief priests and the Pharisees who almost worshiped the lwas of the old testament, than God.

Since Luke was researching for a high government official, "Most Excellent Theophilis", how many eyewitnesses (and who) do you think Luke interviewed before writing his report?

It's most likely that Luke interviewed as many people as he could as he was compiling notes for the most excellent Theophilis. I do believe that Luke got first hand information from the first apostles, I mean the likes of John, Peter, Paul, Mathias, etc. This man must have gone an extra mile to prove every bit of information he obtained therefore he moved to varoius places of Israel, Judea, the far East and the Roman empire were Jesus and first the apostles reached especially Paul. However, like every physician, they do not believe a lot in super natural powers, little wonder that Jesus is so much reffered to as a Son of Man in the book of Luke than any other book in the new testament. All the facts about Jesus as written by Luke are also written in other books of the bible, like Matthew, John, and Mark, therefore, he did enough homework, which he later edited to exclude facts that most physicians feel that they do not apply in world of humanity and science.
