Luke 1:1-4

DBY

NIV

1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 it has seemed good to *me* also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
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 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
