Introduction

1:1–4Ref—Ac 1:1

1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilleda among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the firsta were eyewitnessesb 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 accountd for you, most excellente Theophilus,f 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.g
