(Acts 1:1-2; Luke 1:1-4)
Acts 1:1-2 (KJV)
1
The former treatise have I made, O
Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to
do and teach,
2
Until the day in which he was taken up,
after that he through the Holy Ghost had
given commandments unto the apostles
whom he had chosen:
Luke 1:1-4 (KJV)
1
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in
order a declaration of those things which are most surely
believed among us,
2
Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all things from the very first, to write
unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4
That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
wherein thou hast been instructed.
