Luke 1:1
Douay-Rheims
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
Ambrose of Milan
This expression is used, not that we should suppose the ministry of the word to consist rather in seeing than hearing, but that, because by the word was meant not a word that can be spoken by the mouth, but one of real existence, we may understand that to have been not a common, but a Heavenly Word, to which the Apostles ministered.
