Luke 1:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 They have written the same things that we learned from others—the people who saw those things from the beginning and served God by telling people his message. 3 I myself studied everything carefully from the beginning, your Excellency.[a] I thought I should write it out for you. So I put it in order in a book. 4 I write these things so that you can know that what you have been taught is true.

Luke 1:2-4
New International Version
2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first(A) were eyewitnesses(B) and servants of the word.(C) 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account(D) for you, most excellent(E) Theophilus,(F) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.(G)
