Explanatory Preface
1:1 Now many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us ,
1:2 like the accounts passed on to us by those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning .
1:3 So it seemed good to me as well, because I have followed all things carefully from the beginning , to write an orderly account for you , most excellent Theophilus ,
1:4 so that you may know for certain the things you were taught .
