THE WORDIntroduction to Luke’s Gospel

Seeing that many others have undertaken to draw up accounts of the events that have taken place among us, exactly as these were handed down to us by those who from the outset were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, I in my turn, after carefully going over the whole story from the beginning, have decided to write an ordered account for you so that you may learn how well founded the teaching is that you have received.

APOSTLES’ CREED

• I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth• and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord• who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,• suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.• He descended into hell;• on the third day he rose again from the dead.• He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty.• From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.• I believe in the Holy Spirit,• the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, • the forgiveness of sins,• the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen
