Luke 1:1-4

1Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us, 2just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.
