Luke 1:3 BBE

¹  As a number of attempts have been made to put together in order an account of those events which took place among us,

²  As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word,

³  It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;

⁴  So that you might have certain knowledge of those things about which you were given teaching.

⁵  In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
