Commentators explain that this verse acts as a summary, indicating that the Gospels provide only a sample of John the Baptist's full preaching ministry. Scholars like A.T. Robertson call the biblical account a "bare sample," while others note that Luke uniquely emphasizes the "wider range" of John's teaching, which included many more exhortations than are recorded.
