Luke 1:1-4

1Now many have undertaken to organize an account of the events fulfilled among us,

2just as they were handed down to us from the start by the eyewitnesses and reporters of the word.

3Therefore it seemed best to me also, because I have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, to write for you an orderly record, most excellent Theophilus,

4so you may know for sure the truth of the words you have been taught.
