Luke 1:1-4 ▼

1 Since many people have attempted to write an orderly account of the events that have transpired among us,

2 just as they were passed down to us by those who had been eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning,

3 I, too, have carefully investigated everything from the beginning and have decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
