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 shew
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
