Luke 1:1-6 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
Most honorable Theophilus: Many people have written accounts about the events that took place a among us.
2
They used as their source material the reports circulating among us from the early disciples and other eyewitnesses of what God has done in fulfillment of his promises.
3
Having carefully investigated all of these accounts from the beginning, I have decided to write a careful summary for you,
4
to reassure you of the truth of all you were taught.
5
It all begins with a Jewish priest, Zechariah, who lived when Herod was king of Judea. Zechariah was a member of the priestly order of Abijah. His wife, Elizabeth, was also from the priestly line of Aaron.
6
Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God's eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord's commandments and regulations.
