LU-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,

LU-1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the

beginning were

eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

LU-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,

LU-1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,

wherein thou

hast been instructed.

LU-1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a

certain priest

named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife [was] of

the daughters of

Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.

LU-1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all

the

commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

LU-1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,

and they both

were [now] well stricken in years.

LU-1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's

office before

God in the order of his course,

LU-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.

LU-1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying

without at the time

of incense.

LU-1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord

standing on the right

side of the altar of incense.

LU-1:12 And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear

fell upon him.

LU-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.

LU-1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall

rejoice at his

birth.

LU-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.

LU-1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the

Lord their

God.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-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 show

thee these glad

tidings.

LU-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.

LU-1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that

he tarried so

long in the temple.

LU-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.

LU-1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his

ministration

were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

LU-1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and

hid herself

five months, saying,

LU-1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he

looked on

[me], to take away my reproach among men.

LU-1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from

God unto a city

of Galilee, named Nazareth,

LU-1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of

the house of

David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou

hast found

favour with God.

LU-1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring

forth a son,

and shalt call his name JESUS.

LU-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:

LU-1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;

and of his

kingdom there shall be no end.

LU-1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be,

seeing I know not a

man?

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

LU-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.

LU-1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill

country with

haste, into a city of Juda;

LU-1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted

Elisabeth.

LU-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:

LU-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.

LU-1:43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord

should come to

me?

LU-1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded

in mine ears,

the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

LU-1:45 And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be

a performance

of those things which were told her from the Lord.

LU-1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

LU-1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

LU-1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:

for, behold,

from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

LU-1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and

holy [is] his

name.

LU-1:50 And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from

generation to

generation.

LU-1:51 He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered

the proud in

the imagination of their hearts.

LU-1:52 He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and

exalted them of

low degree.

LU-1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the

rich he hath sent

empty away.

LU-1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of

[his] mercy;

LU-1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed

for ever.

LU-1:56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and

returned to her own

house.

LU-1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be

delivered; and she

brought forth a son.

LU-1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord

had showed great

mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

LU-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.

LU-1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he

shall be called

John.

LU-1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred

that is called by

this name.

LU-1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have

him called.

LU-1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying,

His name is John.

And they marvelled all.

LU-1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue

[loosed], and he

spake, and praised God.

LU-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.

LU-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.

LU-1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,

and

prophesied, saying,

LU-1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath

visited and redeemed

his people,

LU-1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the

house of his

servant David;

LU-1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which

have been since

the world began:

LU-1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the

hand of all

that hate us;

LU-1:72 To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to

remember his

holy covenant;

LU-1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

LU-1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered

out of the hand

of our enemies might serve him without fear,

LU-1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days

of our life.

LU-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;

LU-1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the

remission of

their sins,

LU-1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the

dayspring from on

high hath visited us,

LU-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.

LU-1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was

in the deserts

till the day of his showing unto Israel.
