Forasmuch [1895] as many [4183] have taken in hand [2021] [5656] to set forth in order [0392] [5664] a declaration [1335] of [4012] those things [4229] which are most surely believed [4135] [5772] among [1722] us [2254],

2

Even [2531] as they delivered [3860] [5627] them unto us [2254], which [3588] from [0575] the beginning [0746] were [1096] [5637] eyewitnesses [0845], and [2532] ministers [5257] of the word [3056];

3

It seemed [1380] [5656] good to me also [2504], having had perfect [0199] understanding [3877] [5761] of all things [3956] from the very first [0509], to write [1125] [5658] unto thee [4671] in order [2517], most excellent [2903] Theophilus [2321],

4

That [2443] thou mightest know [1921] [5632] the certainty [0803] of [4012] those things [3056], wherein [3739] thou hast been instructed [2727] [5681].

5

There was [1096] [5633] in [1722] the days [2250] of Herod [2264], the king [0935] of Judaea [2449], a certain [5100] priest [2409] named [3686] Zacharias [2197], of [1537] the course [2183] of Abia [0007]: and [2532] his [0846] wife [1135] [was] of [1537] the daughters [2364] of Aaron [0002], and [2532] her [0846] name [3686] [was] Elisabeth [1665].

6

And [1161] they were [2258] [5713] both [0297] righteous [1342] before [1799] God [2316], walking [4198] [5740] in [1722] all [3956] the commandments [1785] and [2532] ordinances [1345] of the Lord [2962] blameless [0273].

7

And [2532] they [0846] had [2258] [5713] no [3756] child [5043], because [2530] that Elisabeth [1665] was [2258] [5713] barren [4723], and [2532] they [0846] both [0297] were [2258] [5713] [now] well stricken [4260] [5761] in [1722] years [2250] [0848].

8

And [1161] it came to pass [1096] [5633], that while [1722] he [0846] executed the priest's office [2407] [5721] before [1725] God [2316] in [1722] the order [5010] of his [0846] course [2183],

9

According [2596] to the custom [1485] of the priest's office [2405], his lot [2975] [5627] was to burn incense [2370] [5658] when he went [1525] [5631] into [1519] the temple [3485] of the Lord [2962].

10

And [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [4128] of the people [2992] were [2258] [5713] praying [4336] [5740] without [1854] at the time [5610] of incense [2368].

11

And [1161] there appeared [3700] [5681] unto him [0846] an angel [0032] of the Lord [2962] standing [2476] [5761] on [1537] the right side [1188] of the altar [2379] of incense [2368].

12

And [2532] when Zacharias [2197] saw [1492] [5631] [him], he was troubled [5015] [5681], and [2532] fear [5401] fell [1968] [5627] upon [1909] him [0846].

13

But [1161] the angel [0032] said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] him [0846], Fear [5399] [5732] [5737] not [3361], Zacharias [2197]: for [1360] thy [4675] prayer [1162] is heard [1522] [5681]; and [2532] thy [4675] wife [1135] Elisabeth [1665] shall bear [1080] [5692] thee [4671] a son [5207], and [2532] thou shalt call [2564] [5692] his [0846] name [3686] John [2491].

14

And [2532] thou [4671] shalt have [2071] [5704] joy [5479] and [2532] gladness [0020]; and [2532] many [4183] shall rejoice [5463] [5690] at [1909] his [0846] birth [1083].

15

For [1063] he shall be [2071] [5704] great [3173] in the sight [1799] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] shall drink [4095] [5632] neither [3364] wine [3631] nor [2532] strong drink [4608]; and [2532] he shall be filled [4130] [5701] with the Holy [0040] Ghost [4151], even [2089] from [1537] his [0848] mother's [3384] womb [2836].

16

And [2532] many [4183] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474] shall he turn [1994] [5692] to [1909] the Lord [2962] their [0846] God [2316].

17

And [2532] he [0846] shall go [4281] [5695] before [1799] him [0846] in [1722] the spirit [4151] and [2532] power [1411] of Elias [2243], to turn [1994] [5658] the hearts [2588] of the fathers [3962] to [1909] the children [5043], and [2532] the disobedient [0545] to [1722] the wisdom [5428] of the just [1342]; to make ready [2090] [5658] a people [2992] prepared [2680] [5772] for the Lord [2962].

18

And [2532] Zacharias [2197] said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] the angel [0032], Whereby [2596] [5101] shall I know [1097] [5695] this [5124]? for [1063] I [1473] am [1510] [5748] an old man [4246], and [2532] my [3450] wife [1135] well stricken [4260] [5761] in [1722] years [2250] [0848].

19

And [2532] the angel [0032] answering [0611] [5679] said [2036] [5627] unto him [0846], I [1473] am [1510] [5748] Gabriel [1043], that stand [3936] [5761] in the presence [1799] of God [2316]; and [2532] am sent [0649] [5648] to speak [2980] [5658] unto [4314] thee [4571], and [2532] to shew [2097] [0000] thee [4671] these [5023] glad tidings [2097] [5670].

20

And [2532], behold [2400] [5628], thou [2071] [5704] shalt be dumb [4623] [5723], and [2532] not [3361] able [1410] [5740] to speak [2980] [5658], until [0891] the day [2250] that [3739] these things [5023] shall be performed [1096] [5638], because [0473] [3739] thou believest [4100] [5656] not [3756] my [3450] words [3056], which [3748] shall be fulfilled [4137] [5701] in [1519] their [0846] season [2540].

21

And [2532] the people [2992] waited [2258] [5713] [4328] [5723] for Zacharias [2197], and [2532] marvelled [2296] [5707] that [1722] he [0846] tarried so long [5549] [5721] in [1722] the temple [3485].

22

And [1161] when he came out [1831] [5631], he could [1410] [5711] not [3756] speak [2980] [5658] unto them [0846]: and [2532] they perceived [1921] [5627] that [3754] he had seen [3708] [5758] a vision [3701] in [1722] the temple [3485]: for [2532] he beckoned [1269] [5723] [2258] [5713] unto them [0846], and [2532] remained [1265] [5707] speechless [2974].

23

And [2532] it came to pass [1096] [5633], that, as soon as [5613] the days [2250] of his ministration [3009] were accomplished [4130] [5681], he departed [0565] [5627] to [1519] his own [0848] house [3624].

24

And [1161] after [3326] those [5025] days [2250] his [0846] wife [1135] Elisabeth [1665] conceived [4815] [5627], and [2532] hid [4032] [5707] herself [1438] five [4002] months [3376], saying [3004] [5723],

25

3754 Thus [3779] hath [4160] [0000] the Lord [2962] dealt [4160] [5758] with me [3427] in [1722] the days [2250] wherein [3739] he looked on [1896] [5627] [me], to take away [0851] [5629] my [3450] reproach [3681] among [1722] men [0444].

26

And [1161] in [1722] the sixth [1623] month [3376] the angel [0032] Gabriel [1043] was sent [0649] [5648] from [5259] God [2316] unto [1519] a city [4172] of Galilee [1056], named [3739] [3686] Nazareth [3478],

27

To [4314] a virgin [3933] espoused [3423] [5772] to a man [0435] whose [3739] name [3686] was Joseph [2501], of [1537] the house [3624] of David [1138]; and [2532] the virgin's [3933] name [3686] [was] Mary [3137].

28

And [2532] the angel [0032] came in [1525] [5631] unto [4314] her [0846], and said [2036] [5627], Hail [5463] [5720], [thou that art] highly favoured [5487] [5772], the Lord [2962] [is] with [3326] thee [4675]: blessed [2127] [5772] [art] thou [4771] among [1722] women [1135].

29

And [1161] when she saw [1492] [5631] [him], she was troubled [1298] [5681] at [1909] his [0846] saying [3056], and [2532] cast in her mind [1260] [5711] what manner [4217] of salutation [0783] this [3778] should be [1498] [5751].

30

And [2532] the angel [0032] said [2036] [5627] unto her [0846], Fear [5399] [5732] [5737] not [3361], Mary [3137]: for [1063] thou hast found [2147] [5627] favour [5485] with [3844] God [2316].

31

And [2532], behold [2400] [5628], thou shalt conceive [4815] [5695] in [1722] thy womb [1064], and [2532] bring forth [5088] [5695] a son [5207], and [2532] shalt call [2564] [5692] his [0846] name [3686] JESUS [2424].

32

He [3778] shall be [2071] [5704] great [3173], and [2532] shall be called [2564] [5701] the Son [5207] of the Highest [5310]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] shall give [1325] [5692] unto him [0846] the throne [2362] of his [0846] father [3962] David [1138]:

33

And [2532] he shall reign [0936] [5692] over [1909] the house [3624] of Jacob [2384] for [1519] ever [0165]; and [2532] of his [0846] kingdom [0932] there shall be [2071] [5704] no [3756] end [5056].

34

Then [1161] said [2036] [5627] Mary [3137] unto [4314] the angel [0032], How [4459] shall [2071] [0000] this [5124] be [2071] [5704], seeing [1893] I know [1097] [5719] not [3756] a man [0435]?

35

And [2532] the angel [0032] answered [0611] [5679] and said [2036] [5627] unto her [0846], The Holy [0040] Ghost [4151] shall come [1904] [5695] upon [1909] thee [4571], and [2532] the power [1411] of the Highest [5310] shall overshadow [1982] [5692] thee [4671]: therefore [1352] also [2532] that holy thing [0040] which shall be born [1080] [5746] of [1537] thee [4675] shall be called [2564] [5701] the Son [5207] of God [2316].

36

And [2532], behold [2400] [5628], thy [4675] cousin [4773] Elisabeth [1665], she hath [4815] [0000] also [2532] conceived [4815] [5761] a son [5207] in [1722] her [0848] old age [1094]: and [2532] this [3778] is [2076] [5748] the sixth [1623] month [3376] with her [0846], who [3588] was called [2564] [5746] barren [4723].

37

For [3754] with [3844] God [2316] nothing [3756] [3956] [4487] shall be impossible [0101] [5692].

38

And [1161] Mary [3137] said [2036] [5627], Behold [2400] [5628] the handmaid [1399] of the Lord [2962]; be it [1096] [5636] unto me [3427] according [2596] to thy [4675] word [4487]. And [2532] the angel [0032] departed [0565] [5627] from [0575] her [0846].

39

And [1161] Mary [3137] arose [0450] [5631] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250], and went [4198] [5675] into [1519] the hill country [3714] with [3326] haste [4710], into [1519] a city [4172] of Juda [2448] [5625] [2455];

40

And [2532] entered [1525] [5627] into [1519] the house [3624] of Zacharias [2197], and [2532] saluted [0782] [5662] Elisabeth [1665].

41

And [2532] it came to pass [1096] [5633], that, when [5613] Elisabeth [1665] heard [0191] [5656] the salutation [0783] of Mary [3137], the babe [1025] leaped [4640] [5656] in [1722] her [0846] womb [2836]; and [2532] Elisabeth [1665] was filled [4130] [5681] with the Holy [0040] Ghost [4151]:

42

And [2532] she spake out [0400] [5656] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], and [2532] said [2036] [5627], Blessed [2127] [5772] [art] thou [4771] among [1722] women [1135], and [2532] blessed [2127] [5772] [is] the fruit [2590] of thy [4675] womb [2836].

43

And [2532] whence [4159] [is] this [5124] to me [3427], that [2443] the mother [3384] of my [3450] Lord [2962] should come [2064] [5632] to [4314] me [3165]?

44

For [1063], lo [2400] [5628], as soon as [5613] the voice [5456] of thy [4675] salutation [0783] sounded [1096] [5633] in [1519] mine [3450] ears [3775], the babe [1025] leaped [4640] [5656] in [1722] my [3450] womb [2836] for [1722] joy [0020].

45

And [2532] blessed [3107] [is] she that believed [4100] [5660]: for [3754] there shall be [2071] [5704] a performance [5050] of those things which were told [2980] [5772] her [0846] from [3844] the Lord [2962].

46

And [2532] Mary [3137] said [2036] [5627], My [3450] soul [5590] doth magnify [3170] [5719] the Lord [2962],

47

And [2532] my [3450] spirit [4151] hath rejoiced [0021] [5656] in [1909] God [2316] my [3450] Saviour [4990].

48

For [3754] he hath regarded [1914] [5656] [1909] the low estate [5014] of his [0848] handmaiden [1399]: for [1063], behold [2400] [5628], from [0575] henceforth [3568] all [3956] generations [1074] shall call [3106] [0000] me [3165] blessed [3106] [5692].

49

For [3754] he that is mighty [1415] hath done [4160] [5656] to me [3427] great things [3167]; and [2532] holy [0040] [is] his [0846] name [3686].

50

And [2532] his [0846] mercy [1656] [is] on them that fear [5399] [5740] him [0846] from [1519] generation [1074] to generation [1074].

51

He hath shewed [4160] [5656] strength [2904] with [1722] his [0848] arm [1023]; he hath scattered [1287] [5656] the proud [5244] in the imagination [1271] of their [0846] hearts [2588].

52

He hath put down [2507] [5627] the mighty [1413] from [0575] [their] seats [2362], and [2532] exalted [5312] [5656] them of low degree [5011].

53

He hath filled [1705] [5656] the hungry [3983] [5723] with good things [0018]; and [2532] the rich [4147] [5723] he hath sent [1821] [0000] empty [2756] away [1821] [5656].

54

He hath holpen [0482] [5633] his [0848] servant [3816] Israel [2474], in remembrance [3415] [5683] of [his] mercy [1656];

55

As [2531] he spake [2980] [5656] to [4314] our [2257] fathers [3962], to Abraham [0011], and [2532] to his [0846] seed [4690] for [1519] ever [0165].

56

And [1161] Mary [3137] abode [3306] [5656] with [4862] her [0846] about [5616] three [5140] months [3376], and [2532] returned [5290] [5656] to [1519] her own [0848] house [3624].

57

Now [1161] Elisabeth's [1665] full [4130] [0000] time [5550] came [4130] [5681] that she [0846] should be delivered [5088] [5629]; and [2532] she brought forth [1080] [5656] a son [5207].

58

And [2532] her neighbours [4040] and [2532] her [0846] cousins [4773] heard [0191] [5656] how [3754] the Lord [2962] had shewed great [3170] [5707] mercy [0848] [1656] upon [3326] her [0846]; and [2532] they rejoiced [4796] [5707] with her [0846].

59

And [2532] it came to pass [1096] [5633], that on [1722] the eighth [3590] day [2250] they came [2064] [5627] to circumcise [4059] [5629] the child [3813]; and [2532] they called [2564] [5707] him [0846] Zacharias [2197], after [1909] the name [3686] of his [0846] father [3962].

60

And [2532] his [0846] mother [3384] answered [0611] [5679] and said [2036] [5627], Not [3780] [so]; but [0235] he shall be called [2564] [5701] John [2491].

61

And [2532] they said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] her [0846], [3754] There is [2076] [5748] none [3762] of [1722] thy [4675] kindred [4772] that [3739] is called [2564] [5743] by this [5129] name [3686].

62

And [1161] they made signs [1770] [5707] to his [0846] father [3962], how [5101] [0302] he would have [2309] [5722] him [0846] called [2564] [5745].

63

And [2532] he asked for [0154] [5660] a writing table [4093], and wrote [1125] [5656], saying [3004] [5723], His [0846] name [3686] is [2076] [5748] John [2491]. And [2532] they marvelled [2296] [5656] all [3956].

64

And [1161] his [0846] mouth [4750] was opened [0455] [5681] immediately [3916], and [2532] his [0846] tongue [1100] [loosed], and [2532] he spake [2980] [5707], and praised [2127] [5723] God [2316].

65

And [2532] fear [5401] came [1096] [5633] on [1909] all [3956] that dwelt round about [4039] [5723] them [0846]: and [2532] all [3956] these [5023] sayings [4487] were noised abroad [1255] [5712] throughout [1722] all [3650] the hill country [3714] of Judaea [2449].

66

And [2532] all [3956] they that heard [0191] [5660] [them] laid [them] up [5087] [5639] in [1722] their [0848] hearts [2588], saying [3004] [5723], What [5101] manner [0686] of child [3813] shall [2071] [0000] this [5124] be [2071] [5704]! And [2532] the hand [5495] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] [5713] with [3326] him [0846].

67

And [2532] his [0846] father [3962] Zacharias [2197] was filled [4130] [5681] with the Holy [0040] Ghost [4151], and [2532] prophesied [4395] [5656], saying [3004] [5723],

68

Blessed [2128] [be] the Lord [2962] God [2316] of Israel [2474]; for [3754] he hath visited [1980] [5662] and [2532] redeemed [3085] his [0848] people [2992] [4160] [5656],

69

And [2532] hath raised up [1453] [5656] an horn [2768] of salvation [4991] for us [2254] in [1722] the house [3624] of his [0848] servant [3816] David [1138];

70

As [2531] he spake [2980] [5656] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of his [0848] holy [0040] prophets [4396], which [3588] have been since [0575] the world began [0165]:

71

That we should be saved [4991] from [1537] our [2257] enemies [2190], and [2532] from [1537] the hand [5495] of all [3956] that hate [3404] [5723] us [2248];

72

To perform [4160] [5658] the mercy [1656] [promised] to [3326] our [2257] fathers [3962], and [2532] to remember [3415] [5683] his [0848] holy [0040] covenant [1242];

73

The oath [3727] which [3739] he sware [3660] [5656] to [4314] our [2257] father [3962] Abraham [0011],

74

That he would grant [1325] [5629] unto us [2254], that we being delivered [4506] [5685] out of [1537] the hand [5495] of our [2257] enemies [2190] might serve [3000] [5721] him [0846] without fear [0870],

75

In [1722] holiness [3742] and [2532] righteousness [1343] before [1799] him [0846], all [3956] the days [2250] of our [2257] life [2222].

76

And [2532] thou [4771], child [3813], shalt be called [2564] [5701] the prophet [4396] of the Highest [5310]: for [1063] thou shalt go [4313] [5695] before [4253] the face [4383] of the Lord [2962] to prepare [2090] [5658] his [0846] ways [3598];

77

To give [1325] [5629] knowledge [1108] of salvation [4991] unto his [0846] people [2992] by [1722] the remission [0859] of their [0846] sins [0266],

78

Through [1223] the tender [4698] mercy [1656] of our [2257] God [2316]; whereby [1722] [3739] the dayspring [0395] from [1537] on high [5311] hath visited [1980] [5662] us [2248],

79

To give light [2014] [5658] to them that sit [2521] [5740] in [1722] darkness [4655] and [2532] [in] the shadow [4639] of death [2288], to guide [2720] [5658] our [2257] feet [4228] into [1519] the way [3598] of peace [1515].

80

And [1161] the child [3813] grew [0837] [5707], and [2532] waxed strong [2901] [5712] in spirit [4151], and [2532] was [2258] [5713] in [1722] the deserts [2048] till [2193] the day [2250] of his [0846] shewing [0323] unto [4314] Israel [2474].
