Luke 1
a
Forasmuch
as
b
many
have
taken
in
hand
to
set
forth
in
order
a
declaration
of
those
things
c
which
are
most
surely
believed
among
us,
2 Even
as
they
delivered
them
unto
us,
which
from
the
beginning
were
a
eyewitnesses,
and
ministers
of
the
word;
3 It
seemed
good
to
me
also,
having
had
perfect
understanding
of
all
things
from
the
very
first,
to
write
unto
thee
in
order,
most
excellent
a
Theophilus,
4 That
thou
mightest
a
know
the
certainty
of
those
things,
wherein
thou
hast
been
instructed.
5 There
was
in
the
days
of
Herod,
the
king
of
Judaea,
a
certain
priest
named
a
Zacharias,
of
the
course
of
b
Abia:
and
his
wife
was
of
the
daughters
of
Aaron,
and
her
name
was
Elisabeth.
6 And
they
were
both
righteous
before
God,
walking
in
all
the
commandments
and
a
ordinances
of
the
Lord
blameless.
7 And
they
had
no
child,
because
that
Elisabeth
was
a
barren,
and
they
both
were
now
well
b
stricken
in
years.
8 And
it
came
to
pass,
that
while
he
executed
the
a
priest's
office
before
God
in
the
order
of
his
b
course,
9 According
to
the
custom
of
the
a
priest's
office,
his
lot
was
to
burn
incense
when
he
went
into
the
temple
of
the
Lord.
10 And
the
whole
multitude
of
the
people
were
praying
without
at
the
time
of
incense.
11 And
there
appeared
unto
him
an
angel
of
the
Lord
standing
on
the
right
side
of
the
altar
of
incense.
12 And
when
Zacharias
saw
him,
he
was
troubled,
and
fear
fell
upon
him.
13 But
the
angel
said
unto
him,
a
Fear
not,
Zacharias:
for
thy
prayer
is
heard;
and
thy
wife
Elisabeth
shall
bear
thee
a
b
son,
and
thou
shalt
call
his
name
John.
14 And
thou
shalt
have
joy
and
gladness;
and
many
shall
rejoice
at
his
birth.
15 For
he
shall
be
great
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
and
shall
drink
neither
a
wine
nor
strong
drink;
and
he
shall
be
b
filled
with
the
c
Holy
Ghost,
even
from
his
mother's
womb.
16 And
many
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
he
turn
to
the
Lord
their
God.
17 And
he
shall
go
before
him
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
a
Elias,
to
turn
the
hearts
of
the
b
fathers
to
the
children,
and
the
c
disobedient
to
the
wisdom
of
the
just;
to
make
ready
a
people
d
prepared
for
the
Lord.
18 And
Zacharias
said
unto
the
angel,
Whereby
shall
I
a
know
this?
for
I
am
an
b
old
man,
and
my
wife
well
c
stricken
in
years.
19 And
the
a
angel
answering
said
unto
him,
I
am
b
Gabriel,
that
stand
in
the
presence
of
God;
and
am
sent
to
speak
unto
thee,
and
to
shew
thee
these
glad
tidings.
20 And,
behold,
thou
shalt
be
a
dumb,
and
not
able
to
speak,
until
the
day
that
these
things
shall
be
performed,
because
thou
b
believest
not
my
words,
which
shall
be
fulfilled
in
their
season.
21 And
the
people
waited
for
Zacharias,
and
marvelled
that
he
tarried
so
long
in
the
temple.
22 And
when
he
came
out,
he
could
not
speak
unto
them:
and
they
perceived
that
he
had
seen
a
vision
in
the
temple:
for
he
beckoned
unto
them,
and
remained
speechless.
23 And
it
came
to
pass,
that,
as
soon
as
the
a
days
of
his
ministration
were
accomplished,
he
departed
to
his
own
house.
24 And
after
those
days
his
wife
Elisabeth
conceived,
and
hid
herself
five
months,
saying,
25 Thus
hath
the
Lord
dealt
with
me
in
the
days
wherein
he
looked
on
me,
to
take
away
my
a
reproach
among
men.
26 And
in
the
sixth
month
the
a
angel
Gabriel
was
sent
from
God
unto
a
city
of
Galilee,
named
Nazareth,
27 To
a
a
virgin
espoused
to
a
man
whose
name
was
Joseph,
of
the
house
of
David;
and
the
virgin's
name
was
Mary.
28 And
the
angel
came
in
unto
her,
and
said,
Hail,
thou
that
art
highly
favoured,
the
Lord
is
with
thee:
blessed
art
thou
among
a
women.
29 And
when
she
saw
him,
she
was
troubled
at
his
saying,
and
cast
in
her
mind
what
manner
of
salutation
this
should
be.
30 And
the
angel
said
unto
her,
a
Fear
not,
Mary:
for
thou
hast
found
favour
with
God.
31 And,
behold,
thou
shalt
conceive
in
thy
womb,
and
bring
forth
a
son,
and
shalt
call
his
name
a
Jesus.
32 He
shall
be
great,
and
shall
be
called
the
a
Son
of
the
Highest:
and
the
Lord
God
shall
give
unto
him
the
b
throne
of
his
father
c
David:
33 And
he
shall
a
reign
over
the
house
of
Jacob
for
ever;
and
of
his
kingdom
there
shall
be
no
b
end.
34 Then
said
Mary
unto
the
angel,
How
shall
this
be,
seeing
I
a
know
not
a
man?
35 And
the
angel
answered
and
said
unto
her,
The
a
Holy
Ghost
shall
come
upon
thee,
and
the
power
of
the
Highest
shall
overshadow
thee:
therefore
also
that
holy
thing
which
shall
be
born
of
thee
shall
be
called
the
b
Son
of
God.
36 And,
behold,
thy
a
cousin
Elisabeth,
she
hath
also
conceived
a
son
in
her
b
old
age:
and
this
is
the
sixth
month
with
her,
who
was
called
barren.
37 For
with
God
nothing
shall
be
a
impossible.
38 And
Mary
said,
Behold
the
handmaid
of
the
Lord;
be
it
unto
me
according
to
thy
word.
And
the
angel
departed
from
her.
39 And
Mary
arose
in
those
days,
and
went
into
the
hill
country
with
haste,
into
a
city
of
Juda;
40 And
entered
into
the
house
of
Zacharias,
and
a
saluted
Elisabeth.
41 And
it
came
to
pass,
that,
when
Elisabeth
heard
the
salutation
of
Mary,
the
babe
leaped
in
her
womb;
and
Elisabeth
was
a
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost:
42 And
she
spake
out
with
a
loud
voice,
and
said,
Blessed
art
thou
among
a
women,
and
blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
womb.
43 And
a
whence
is
this
to
me,
that
the
mother
of
my
Lord
should
come
to
me?
44 For,
lo,
as
soon
as
the
voice
of
thy
salutation
sounded
in
mine
ears,
the
babe
leaped
in
my
womb
for
joy.
45 And
blessed
is
she
that
believed:
for
there
shall
be
a
performance
of
those
things
which
were
told
her
from
the
Lord.
46 And
Mary
a
said,
My
soul
doth
b
magnify
the
Lord,
47 And
my
spirit
hath
a
rejoiced
in
God
my
b
Saviour.
48 For
he
hath
regarded
the
low
estate
of
his
a
handmaiden:
for,
behold,
from
henceforth
all
generations
shall
call
me
b
blessed.
49 For
he
that
is
mighty
hath
done
to
me
great
a
things;
and
b
holy
is
his
name.
50 And
his
mercy
is
on
them
that
fear
him
from
generation
to
generation.
51 He
hath
shewed
strength
with
his
arm;
he
hath
scattered
the
a
proud
in
the
imagination
of
their
hearts.
52 He
hath
put
down
the
mighty
from
their
seats,
and
exalted
them
of
a
low
degree.
53 He
hath
filled
the
hungry
with
good
things;
and
the
rich
he
hath
sent
empty
away.
54 He
hath
a
holpen
his
servant
Israel,
in
remembrance
of
his
mercy;
55 As
he
spake
to
our
a
fathers,
to
Abraham,
and
to
his
b
seed
for
ever.
56 And
Mary
abode
with
her
about
three
months,
and
returned
to
her
own
house.
57 Now
Elisabeth's
full
time
came
that
she
should
be
delivered;
and
she
brought
forth
a
son.
58 And
her
neighbours
and
her
a
cousins
heard
how
the
Lord
had
shewed
great
b
mercy
upon
her;
and
they
rejoiced
with
her.
59 And
it
came
to
pass,
that
on
the
a
eighth
day
they
came
to
b
circumcise
the
child;
and
they
called
him
Zacharias,
after
the
name
of
his
father.
60 And
his
mother
answered
and
said,
Not
so;
but
he
shall
be
called
John.
61 And
they
said
unto
her,
There
is
none
of
thy
kindred
that
is
called
by
this
name.
62 And
they
made
signs
to
his
father,
how
he
would
have
him
called.
63 And
he
asked
for
a
a
writing
table,
and
wrote,
saying,
His
name
is
John.
And
they
marvelled
all.
64 And
his
mouth
was
opened
immediately,
and
his
tongue
loosed,
and
he
spake,
and
praised
God.
65 And
fear
came
on
all
that
dwelt
round
about
them:
and
all
these
sayings
were
a
noised
abroad
throughout
all
the
hill
country
of
Judaea.
66 And
all
they
that
heard
them
laid
them
up
in
their
hearts,
saying,
What
manner
of
child
shall
this
be!
And
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
with
him.
67 And
his
father
Zacharias
was
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
a
prophesied,
saying,
68
a
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel;
for
he
hath
b
visited
and
c
redeemed
his
people,
69 And
hath
raised
up
an
horn
of
salvation
for
us
in
the
house
of
his
servant
David;
70 As
he
a
spake
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
b
prophets,
which
have
been
since
the
world
began:
71 That
we
should
be
saved
from
our
enemies,
and
from
the
hand
of
all
that
hate
us;
72 To
perform
the
mercy
a
promised
to
our
fathers,
and
to
remember
his
holy
b
covenant;
73 The
a
oath
which
he
sware
to
our
b
father
Abraham,
74 That
he
would
grant
unto
us,
that
we
being
delivered
out
of
the
hand
of
our
enemies
might
serve
him
without
a
fear,
75 In
a
holiness
and
righteousness
before
him,
all
the
days
of
our
life.
76 And
thou,
child,
shalt
be
called
the
prophet
of
the
Highest:
for
thou
shalt
go
before
the
face
of
the
Lord
to
a
prepare
his
ways;
77 To
give
a
knowledge
of
salvation
unto
his
people
by
the
b
remission
of
their
sins,
78 Through
the
a
tender
mercy
of
our
God;
whereby
the
b
dayspring
from
on
high
hath
visited
us,
79 To
give
a
light
to
them
that
sit
in
b
darkness
and
in
the
shadow
of
c
death,
to
guide
our
feet
into
the
way
of
peace.
80 And
the
child
grew,
and
waxed
strong
in
spirit,
and
was
in
the
deserts
till
the
day
of
his
shewing
unto
Israel.
