Luke 1:1-5

Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us,

just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,

so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught. John the Baptist’s Birth Foretold
