Luke 1:2

Read in context

Luke 1:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
