Luke 1:1-2 Part 2 of 4

Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us. They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples.

 

They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples 

1 Peter 5:1  And now a word to you who are elders in the churches. I (Peter), am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world.

2 Peter 1:16-18  For we (Peter, James and John) were not making up clever stories when we told you of the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy." We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain, 

1 John 1:1-4  We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us. We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.
