The introduction of the Gospel of Luke

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things
 that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 
2 just as they were handed down to us by those 
who from the first(B) were eyewitnesses(C) and servants of the word.(D) 

3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, 
I too decided to write an orderly account(E) for you,
 most excellent(F) Theophilus,(G)
 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things
 you have been taught.(H)
