Luke 1:1-4 - The Preface To Luke's Gospel
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us, 2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word, 3 it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
