Luke 1:2 CPDV

¹  Since, indeed, many have attempted to set in order a narrative of the things that have been completed among us,

²  just as they have been handed on to those of us who from the beginning saw the same and were ministers of the word,

³  so it seemed good to me also, having diligently followed everything from the beginning, to write to you, in an orderly manner, most excellent Theophilus,

⁴  so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed.
