Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
1:1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us,
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
The Preface to Luke’s Gospel
1 Since many have attempted to compile an account concerning the events that have been fulfilled among us,
1Seeing that many took in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us,
1Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us.
