'Accounts' in the Bible

like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning.

so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught [that is, the history and doctrine of the faith].

Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.
