Luke 1:1-6

Weymouth New Testament WNT

1 Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance among us

2 on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,

3 it has seemed right to me also, after careful investigation of the facts from their commencement, to write for you, most noble Theophilus, a connected account,

4 that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.

5 There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 They were both of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.

New International Version NIV

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

2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided 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.

5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.

6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.
