| Luke 1: 1 - 4 |
|
| 1 | Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished 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 followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent The-oph'ilus, |
| 4 | that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. |
