LUKE.
§ 1. The Prologue.
1<Seeing, indeed, that |many| had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully con- firmed amongst us, — 2 according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us> 3 it seemed good |even to me| <having closely traced from the outset all things accurately> to write unto thee |in order|, most excellent Theophilus : 4 that <as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth> thou mightest obtain full knowledge ||of the certainty||
