Luke 1
|
- 1:1
Forasmuch as
many have taken in
hand to set forth in
order a
declaration
of those
things which are most surely
believed
among
us,
|
- 1:2
Even as they
delivered them unto
us,
which
from the
beginning
were
eyewitnesses,
and
ministers of the
word;
|
- 1:3 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
Theophilus,
|
- 1:4
That thou mightest
know the
certainty
of those
things,
wherein thou hast been
instructed.
|
- 1:5 There
was
in the
days of
Herod, the
king of
Judaea, a
certain
priest

Abia:
and
his
wife was
of the
daughters of
Aaron,
and
her
name was
Elisabeth.
|
- 1:6
And they
were
both
righteous
before
God,
walking
in
all the
commandments
and
ordinances of the
Lord
blameless.
|
- 1:7
And
they
had
no
child,
because that
Elisabeth
was
barren,
and
they
both
were now well
stricken
in
years.
|
- 1:8
And it came to
pass, that
while
he executed the priest's
office
before
God
in the
order of
his
course,
|
- 1:9
According to the
custom of the priest's
office, his
lot was to burn
incense when he
went
into the
temple of the
Lord.
|
- 1:10
And the
whole
multitude of the
people
were
praying
without at the
time of
incense.
|

appeared unto
him an
angel of the
Lord
standing
on the right
side of the
altar of
incense.
|
- 1:12
And when
Zacharias
saw him, he was
troubled,
and
fear
fell
upon
him.
|
- 1:13
But the
angel
said
unto
him,
Fear
not,
Zacharias:
for
thy
prayer is
heard;
and
thy
wife
Elisabeth shall
bear
thee a
son,
and thou shalt
call
his
name
John.
|
- 1:14
And
thou shalt
have
joy
and
gladness;
and
many shall
rejoice
at
his
birth.
|
- 1:15
For he shall
be
great in the
sight of the
Lord,
and shall
drink
neither
wine
nor strong
drink;
and he shall be
filled with the
Holy
Ghost,
even
from
his
mother's
womb.
|
- 1:16
And
many of the
children of
Israel shall he
turn
to the
Lord
their
God.
|
- 1:17
And
he shall
go
before
him
in the
spirit
and
power of
Elias, to
turn the
hearts of the
fathers
to the
children,
and the
disobedient
to the
wisdom of the
just; to make
ready a
people
prepared for the
Lord.
|
- 1:18
And
Zacharias
said
unto the
angel,
Whereby
shall I
know
this?
for
I
am an old
man,
and
my
wife well
stricken
in
years
*.
|
- 1:19
And the
angel
answering
said unto
him,
I
am
Gabriel, that
stand in the
presence of
God;
and am
sent to
speak
unto
thee,
and to
shew
thee
these glad
tidings.
|
- 1:20
And,
behold,
thou shalt be
dumb,
and
not
able to
speak,
until the
day
that these
things shall be
performed,
because
thou
believest
not
my
words,
which shall be
fulfilled
in
their
season.
|
- 1:21
And the
people
waited
* for
Zacharias,
and
marvelled
that
he tarried so
long
in the
temple.
|
- 1:22
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.
|
- 1:23
And it came to
pass, that, as soon
as the
days of
his
ministration were
accomplished, he
departed
to his
own
house.

after
those
days
his
wife
Elisabeth
conceived,
and
hid
herself
five
months,
saying,
|
- 1:25
*
Thus
hath the
Lord
dealt with
me
in the
days
wherein he looked
on me, to take
away
my
reproach
among
men.

To a
virgin
espoused to a
man
whose
name was
Joseph,
of the
house of
David;
and the
virgin's
name was
Mary.
|
- 1:28
And the
angel came
in
unto
her, and
said,
Hail, thou that art highly
favoured, the
Lord is
with
thee:
blessed art
thou
among
women.
|
- 1:29
And when she
saw him, she was
troubled
at
his
saying,
and cast in her
mind what
manner of
salutation
this should
be.

- 1:30
And the
angel
said unto
her,
Fear
not,
Mary:
for thou hast
found
favour
with
God.
|
- 1:31
And,
behold, thou shalt
conceive
in thy
womb,
and bring
forth a
son,
and shalt
call
his
name
JESUS.
|
- 1:32
He shall
be
great,
and shall be
called the
Son of the
Highest:
and the
Lord
God shall
give unto
him the
throne of
his
father
David:
|
- 1:33
And he shall
reign
over the
house of
Jacob
for
ever;
and of
his
kingdom there shall
be
no
end.
|
- 1:34
Then
said
Mary
unto the
angel,
How
shall
this
be,
seeing I
know
not a
man?
|
- 1:35
And the
angel
answered and
said unto
her, The
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
Son of
God.
|
- 1:36
And,
behold,
thy
cousin
Elisabeth,
she
hath
also
conceived a
son
in
her old
age:
and
this
is the
sixth
month with
her,
who was
called
barren.
|
- 1:37
For
with
God
nothing
*
shall be
impossible.
|
- 1:38
And
Mary
said,
Behold the
handmaid of the
Lord; be
it unto
me
according to
thy
word.
And the
angel
departed
from
her.
|
- 1:39
And
Mary
arose
in
those
days, and
went
into the hill
country
with
haste,
into a
city of
Juda;
|
- 1:40
And
entered
into the
house of
Zacharias,
and
saluted
Elisabeth.
|
- 1:41
And it came to
pass, that,
when
Elisabeth
heard the
salutation of
Mary, the
babe
leaped
in
her
womb;
and
Elisabeth was
filled with the
Holy
Ghost:
|
- 1:42
And she spake
out with a
loud
voice,
and
said,
Blessed art
thou
among
women,
and
blessed is the
fruit of
thy
womb.
|
- 1:43
And
whence is
this to
me,
that the
mother of
my
Lord should
come
to
me?
|
- 1:44
For,
lo, as soon
as the
voice of
thy
salutation
sounded
in
mine
ears, the
babe
leaped
in
my
womb
for
joy.
|
- 1:45
And
blessed is she that
believed:
for there shall
be a
performance of those things which were
told
her
from the
Lord.
|
- 1:46
And
Mary
said,
My
soul doth
magnify the
Lord,
|
- 1:47
And
my
spirit hath
rejoiced
in
God
my
Saviour.
|
- 1:48
For he hath
regarded
* the low
estate of
his
handmaiden:
for,
behold,
from
henceforth
all
generations shall
call
me
blessed.
|
- 1:49
For he that is
mighty hath
done to
me great
things;
and
holy is
his
name.
|
- 1:50
And
his
mercy is on them that
fear
him
from
generation to
generation.
|
- 1:51 He hath
shewed
strength
with
his
arm; he hath
scattered the
proud in the
imagination of
their
hearts.
|
- 1:52 He hath put
down the
mighty
from their
seats,
and
exalted them of low
degree.
|
- 1:53 He hath
filled the
hungry with good
things;
and the
rich he hath
sent
empty
away.
|
- 1:54 He hath
holpen
his
servant
Israel, in
remembrance of his
mercy;
|
- 1:55
As he
spake
to
our
fathers, to
Abraham,
and to
his
seed
for
ever.
|
- 1:56
And
Mary
abode
with
her
about
three
months,
and
returned
to her
own
house.
|
- 1:57
Now
Elisabeth's
full
time
came that
she should be
delivered;
and she brought
forth a
son.
|
- 1:58
And her
neighbours
and
her
cousins
heard
how the
Lord had shewed
great
mercy
*
upon
her;
and they
rejoiced with
her.
|
- 1:59
And it came to
pass, that
on the
eighth
day they
came to
circumcise the
child;
and they
called
him
Zacharias,
after the
name of
his
father.
|
- 1:60
And
his
mother
answered and
said,
Not so;
but he shall be
called
John.
|
- 1:61
And they
said
unto
her
*, There
is
none
of
thy
kindred
that is
called by
this
name.
|
- 1:62
And they made
signs to
his
father,
how
he would
have
him
called.
|
- 1:63
And he asked
for a writing
table, and
wrote,
saying,
His
name
is
John.
And they
marvelled
all.
|
- 1:64
And
his
mouth was
opened
immediately,
and
his
tongue loosed,
and he
spake, and
praised
God.
|
- 1:65
And
fear
came
on
all that dwelt round
about
them:
and
all
these
sayings were noised
abroad
throughout
all the hill
country of
Judaea.
|
- 1:66
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.
|
- 1:67
And
his
father
Zacharias was
filled with the
Holy
Ghost,
and
prophesied,
saying,
|
- 1:68
Blessed be the
Lord
God of
Israel;
for he hath
visited
and
redeemed
his
people
*,
|
- 1:69
And hath raised
up an
horn of
salvation for
us
in the
house of
his
servant
David;
|
- 1:70
As he
spake
by the
mouth of
his
holy
prophets,
which have been
since the world
began:
|
- 1:71 That we should be
saved
from
our
enemies,
and
from the
hand of
all that
hate
us;
|
- 1:72 To
perform the
mercy promised
to
our
fathers,
and to
remember
his
holy
covenant;
|
- 1:73 The
oath
which he
sware
to
our
father
Abraham,
|
- 1:74 That he would
grant unto
us, that we being
delivered out
of the
hand of
our
enemies might
serve
him without
fear,
|
- 1:75
In
holiness
and
righteousness
before
him,
all the
days of
our
life.
|
- 1:76
And
thou,
child, shalt be
called the
prophet of the
Highest:
for thou shalt
go
before the
face of the
Lord to
prepare
his
ways;
|
- 1:77 To
give
knowledge of
salvation unto
his
people
by the
remission of
their
sins,
|
- 1:78
Through the
tender
mercy of
our
God;
whereby
the
dayspring
from on
high hath
visited
us,
|
- 1:79 To give
light to them that
sit
in
darkness
and in the
shadow of
death, to
guide
our
feet
into the
way of
peace.
|
- 1:80
And the
child
grew,
and waxed
strong in
spirit,
and
was
in the
deserts
till the
day of
his
shewing
unto
Israel.
