Luke’s Account of Things Fulfilled

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that [a](A)have been fulfilled among us, just as those, who (B)from the beginning [b]were (C)eyewitnesses and [c](D)servants of (E)the [d]word, handed them down to us, it seemed fitting for me as well, (F)having [e]investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you (G)in orderly sequence, (H)most excellent (I)Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty about the things you have been [f](J)taught.
