以下が「書き換え」。すべて Luke 1:1-4 。
> Dear Theophilus:
> Many people have done their best to write a report of the things that
> have taken place among us. They wrote what we have been told by
> those who saw these things from the beginning and who proclaimed
> the message. And so, Your Excellency, because I have carefully
> studied all these matters from their beginning, I thought it would be
> good to write an orderly account for you. I do this so that you will
> know the full truth about everything which you have been taught.
(GNT)
> Dear friend who loves God:
> Several biographies of Christ have already been written using as
> their source material the reports circulating among us from the early
> disciples and other eyewitnesses. However, it occurred to me that
> it would be well to recheck all these accounts from first to last and
> after thorough investigation to pass this summary on to you, to
> reassure you of the truth of all you were taught.
