  • king james study
  • 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 named Zacharias, of the course of 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.
  • 1:11 And there 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.
  • 1:24 And 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.
  • 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
  • unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
  • 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.
  • 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.
