Luke 1:1-4 - The Preface To Luke's Gospel

¹ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been fulfilled among us, ² just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, ³ it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, ⁴ so that you may know the certainty of the things which you have been taught.
