Luke 1:1-4

1Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things 1 2accomplished among us, 2just as they were handed down to us by those who 3from the beginning 4were 5eyewitnesses and 6 7servants of 8the 9word, 3it seemed fitting for me as well, 10having 11investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you 12in consecutive order, 13most excellent 14Theophilus; 4so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been 15 16taught.
