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

even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
