Meaning: friend of God

Thematic Bible



Since many took in hand to draw up an account concerning the matters which have been borne out among us, even as those who from the beginning delivered to us, becoming eye-witnesses and ministers of the Word, it seemed good to me also, following all things accurately from the very first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus, read more.
so that you might know the certainty of those things in which you have been instructed.

Truly, O Theophilus, I made the first report as to all things that Jesus began both to do and teach until the day He was taken up, having given directions to the apostles whom He chose, through the Holy Spirit;


it seemed good to me also, following all things accurately from the very first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus,

Truly, O Theophilus, I made the first report as to all things that Jesus began both to do and teach
