Acts 1:1 implies that Luke's Gospel covers all that Jesus began to do and teach, whereas John 21:25 states that the world itself could not contain the books if everything were written. Traditional harmonization explains that Luke provides a comprehensive overview of the foundational scope of Jesus's public ministry, rather than an exhaustive biographical diary of every individual event; conversely, critical scholarship views this as a classic distinction between the ordered narrative intents of the Synoptics and the hyper-stylised theological framework of the Fourth Gospel.
