Luke 1:1-6

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

2 even as they were delivered unto us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word,

3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed.

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