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

¹ Since many writers have undertaken to compose narratives about the facts established among us, ² just as the original eyewitnesses who became ministers of the message ³ have handed them down to us, I too, most excellent Theophilus, because I have carefully investigated them all from the start, have felt impressed to write them out in order for you ⁴ that you may better know the certainty of those things that you have been taught.
