Luke 1:1-4 ▼

1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,

2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,

3 it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,

4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
