Dedication to Theophilus

1 Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for yoʋ, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been instructed.
