Luke 1:1-25.

Luke 1:1-25 (Good News Translation) 1Dear Theophilus:          Many people have done their best to write a report of the things that have taken place among us.           2They wrote what we have been told by those who saw these things from the beginning and who proclaimed the message.           3And 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.           4I do this so that you will know the full truth about everything which you have been taught.           5During the time when Herod was king of Judea,           there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah.

Luke 14:25—15:10 (GNT) 25 "Once when large crowds of people were going along with Jesus, he turned and said to them, 26 "Those who come to me cannot be my disciples unless they love me more than they love father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and themselves as well. 27 Those who do not carry their own cross and come after me cannot be my disciples. 28 If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job. 29 If you don't, you will not be able to finish the tower after laying the foundation; and all who see what happened will make fun of you. 30 "You began to build but can't finish the job!" they will say. 31 If a king goes out with ten thousand men to fight another king who comes against him with twenty thousand men, he will sit down first and decide if he is strong enough to face that other king. 32 If he isn't, he will send ...
