Luke 1:1-4

1Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled among us,

2just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us.

3So it also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable Theophilus,

4so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.
