Luke 1:4 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Luke 1:3      Luke 1:5

Luke 1:4

so that you may have complete certainty in (feel sure, not have to doubt) what you have been taught [by oral tradition].
[Luke wants to be clear that he is not going to introduce any new ideas. He wants to summarize and clarify what others have already written and the oral tradition that existed about Jesus. One of the sources was probably the Gospel of Mark and perhaps also the Gospel of Matthew. Luke expresses his gratitude for what has already been written, but sees the need to recount the life of Jesus to help Theophilus and his non-Jewish Christian friends understand the Gospel. These first four verses are one long well-structured sentence in Greek.]
