KJV_Strong : Luke 1
1. Forasmuch[G1895] as many[G4183] have taken in hand[G2021] to set forth in order[G392] a declaration[G1335] of[G4012] those things[G4229] which are most surely believed[G4135] among[G1722] us,[G2254]
2. Even as[G2531] they delivered[G3860] them unto us,[G2254] which from the beginning were[G1096] [G575] [G746] eyewitnesses,[G845] and[G2532] ministers[G5257] of the[G3588] word;[G3056]
3. It seemed good[G1380] to me also,[G2504] having had perfect[G199] understanding[G3877] of all things[G3956] from the very first,[G509] to write[G1125] unto thee[G4671] in order,[G2517] most excellent[G2903] Theophilus,[G2321]
4. That[G2443] thou mightest know[G1921] the[G3588] certainty[G803] of those things,[G3056] wherein[G4012] [G3739] thou hast been instructed.[G2727]
5. There was[G1096] in[G1722] the[G3588] days[G2250] of Herod,[G2264] the[G3588] king[G935] of Judea,[G2449] a certain[G5100] priest[G2409] named[G3686] Zacharias,[G2197] of[G1537] the course[G2183] of Abijah:[G7] and[G2532] his[G846] wife[G1135] was of[G1537] the[G3588] daughters[G2364] of Aaron,[G2] and[G2532] her[G846] name[G3686] was Elisabeth.[G1665]
6. And[G1161] they were[G2258] both[G297] righteous[G1342] before[G1799] God,[G2316] walking[G4198] in[G1722] all[G3956] the[G3588] commandments[G1785] and[G2532] ordinances[G1345] of the[G3588] Lord[G2962] blameless.[G273]
7. And[G2532] they had[G2258] [G846] no[G3756] child,[G5043] because that[G2530] Elisabeth[G1665] was[G2258] barren,[G4723] and[G2532] they both[G297] were[G2258] now well stricken[G4260] in[G1722] years.[G2250]
8. And[G1161] it came to pass,[G1096] that while he[G846] executed the priest's office[G2407] before[G1725] God[G2316] in[G1722] the[G3588] order[G5010] of his[G848] course,[G2183]
9. According[G2596] to the[G3588] custom[G1485] of the[G3588] priest's office,[G2405] his lot was[G2975] to burn incense[G2370] when he went[G1525] into[G1519] the[G3588] temple[G3485] of the[G3588] Lord.[G2962]
10. And[G2532] the[G3588] whole[G3956] multitude[G4128] of the[G3588] people[G2992] were[G2258] praying[G4336] without[G1854] at the[G3588] time[G5610] of incense.[G2368]
11. And[G1161] there appeared[G3700] unto him[G846] an angel[G32] of the Lord[G2962] standing[G2476] on[G1537] the right side[G1188] of the[G3588] altar[G2379] of incense.[G2368]
12. And[G2532] when Zacharias[G2197] saw[G1492] him, he was troubled,[G5015] and[G2532] fear[G5401] fell[G1968] upon[G1909] him.[G846]
13. But[G1161] the[G3588] angel[G32] said[G2036] unto[G4314] him,[G846] Fear[G5399] not,[G3361] Zacharias:[G2197] for[G1360] thy[G4675] prayer[G1162] is heard;[G1522] and[G2532] thy[G4675] wife[G1135] Elisabeth[G1665] shall bear[G1080] thee[G4671] a son,[G5207] and[G2532] thou shalt call[G2564] his[G846] name[G3686] John.[G2491]
14. And[G2532] thou[G4671] shalt have[G2071] joy[G5479] and[G2532] gladness;[G20] and[G2532] many[G4183] shall rejoice[G5463] at[G1909] his[G846] birth.[G1083]
15. For[G1063] he shall be[G2071] great[G3173] in the sight[G1799] of the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] and[G2532] shall drink[G4095] neither[G3364] wine[G3631] nor[G2532] strong drink;[G4608] and[G2532] he shall be filled[G4130] with the Holy[G40] Ghost,[G4151] even[G2089] from[G1537] his[G848] mother's[G3384] womb.[G2836]
16. And[G2532] many[G4183] of the[G3588] children[G5207] of Israel[G2474] shall he turn[G1994] to[G1909] the Lord[G2962] their[G846] God.[G2316]
17. And[G2532] he[G846] shall go[G4281] before[G1799] him[G846] in the spirit[G4151] and[G2532] power[G1411] of Elijah,[G2243] to turn[G1994] the hearts[G2588] of the fathers[G3962] to[G1909] the children,[G5043] and[G2532] the disobedient[G545] to[G1722] the wisdom[G5428] of the just;[G1342] to make ready[G2090] a people[G2992] prepared[G2680] for the Lord.[G2962]
18. And[G2532] Zacharias[G2197] said[G2036] unto[G4314] the[G3588] angel,[G32] Whereby[G2596] [G5101] shall I know[G1097] this?[G5124] for[G1063] I[G1473] am[G1510] an old man[G4246] and[G2532] my[G3450] wife[G1135] well stricken[G4260] in[G1722] years.[G2250]
19. And[G2532] the[G3588] angel[G32] answering[G611] said[G2036] unto him,[G846] I[G1473] am[G1510] Gabriel,[G1043] that stand[G3936] in the presence[G1799] of God;[G2316] and[G2532] am sent[G649] to speak[G2980] unto[G4314] thee,[G4571] and[G2532] to show thee these glad tidings.[G2097] [G4671] [G5023]
20. And,[G2532] behold,[G2400] thou shalt be[G2071] dumb,[G4623] and[G2532] not[G3361] able[G1410] to speak,[G2980] until[G891] the[G3739] day[G2250] that these things[G5023] shall be performed,[G1096] because[G473] thou[G3739] believest[G4100] not[G3756] my[G3450] words,[G3056] which[G3748] shall be fulfilled[G4137] in[G1519] their[G848] season.[G2540]
21. And[G2532] the[G3588] people[G2992] waited for[G2258] [G4328] Zacharias,[G2197] and[G2532] marveled[G2296] that he[G846] tarried so long[G5549] in[G1722] the[G3588] temple.[G3485]
22. And[G1161] when he came out,[G1831] he could[G1410] not[G3756] speak[G2980] unto them:[G846] and[G2532] they perceived[G1921] that[G3754] he had seen[G3708] a vision[G3701] in[G1722] the[G3588] temple:[G3485] for[G2532] he[G846] beckoned[G2258] [G1269] unto them,[G846] and[G2532] remained[G1265] speechless.[G2974]
23. And[G2532] it came to pass,[G1096] that, as soon as[G5613] the[G3588] days[G2250] of his[G846] ministration[G3009] were accomplished,[G4130] he departed[G565] to[G1519] his own[G848] house.[G3624]
24. And[G1161] after[G3326] those[G5025] days[G2250] his[G846] wife[G1135] Elisabeth[G1665] conceived,[G4815] and[G2532] hid[G4032] herself[G1438] five[G4002] months,[G3376] saying,[G3004]
25. Thus[G3779] hath the[G3588] Lord[G2962] dealt[G4160] with me[G3427] in[G1722] the[G3588] days[G2250] wherein[G3739] he looked on[G1896] me, to take away[G851] my[G3450] reproach[G3681] among[G1722] men.[G444]
26. And[G1161] in[G1722] the[G3588] sixth[G1623] month[G3376] the[G3588] angel[G32] Gabriel[G1043] was sent[G649] from[G5259] God[G2316] unto[G1519] a city[G4172] of Galilee,[G1056] named[G3686] Nazareth,[G3478]
27. To[G4314] a virgin[G3933] espoused[G3423] to a man[G435] whose[G3739] name[G3686] was Joseph,[G2501] of[G1537] the house[G3624] of David;[G1138] and[G2532] the[G3588] virgin's[G3933] name[G3686] was Mary.[G3137]
28. And[G2532] the[G3588] angel[G32] came in[G1525] unto[G4314] her,[G846] and said,[G2036] Hail,[G5463] thou that art highly favored,[G5487] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] is with[G3326] thee:[G4675] blessed[G2127] art thou[G4771] among[G1722] women.[G1135]
29. And[G1161] when she[G3588] saw[G1492] him, she was troubled[G1298] at[G1909] his[G846] saying,[G3056] and[G2532] cast in her mind[G1260] what manner[G4217] of salutation[G783] this[G3778] should be.[G1498]
30. And[G2532] the[G3588] angel[G32] said[G2036] unto her,[G846] Fear[G5399] not,[G3361] Mary:[G3137] for[G1063] thou hast found[G2147] favor[G5485] with[G3844] God.[G2316]
31. And,[G2532] behold,[G2400] thou shalt conceive[G4815] in[G1722] thy womb,[G1064] and[G2532] bring forth[G5088] a son,[G5207] and[G2532] shalt call[G2564] his[G846] name[G3686] JESUS.[G2424]
32. He[G3778] shall be[G2071] great,[G3173] and[G2532] shall be called[G2564] the Son[G5207] of the Highest:[G5310] and[G2532] the Lord[G2962] God[G2316] shall give[G1325] unto him[G846] the[G3588] throne[G2362] of his[G846] father[G3962] David: [G1138]
33. And[G2532] he shall reign[G936] over[G1909] the[G3588] house[G3624] of Jacob[G2384] forever;[G1519] [G165] and[G2532] of his[G846] kingdom[G932] there shall be[G2071] no[G3756] end.[G5056]
34. Then[G1161] said[G2036] Mary[G3137] unto[G4314] the[G3588] angel,[G32] How[G4459] shall this[G5124] be,[G2071] seeing[G1893] I know[G1097] not[G3756] a man?[G435]
35. And[G2532] the[G3588] angel[G32] answered[G611] and said[G2036] unto her,[G846] The Holy[G40] Ghost[G4151] shall come[G1904] upon[G1909] thee,[G4571] and[G2532] the power[G1411] of the Highest[G5310] shall overshadow[G1982] thee:[G4671] therefore[G1352] also[G2532] that holy thing[G40] which shall be born[G1080] of[G1537] thee[G4675] shall be called[G2564] the Son[G5207] of God.[G2316]
36. And,[G2532] behold,[G2400] thy[G4675] cousin[G4773] Elisabeth,[G1665] she[G846] hath also[G2532] conceived[G4815] a son[G5207] in[G1722] her[G848] old age:[G1094] and[G2532] this[G3778] is[G2076] the sixth[G1623] month[G3376] with her,[G846] who was called[G2564] barren.[G4723]
37. For[G3754] with[G3844] God[G2316] nothing[G3956] [G4487] [G3756] shall be impossible.[G101]
38. And[G1161] Mary[G3137] said,[G2036] Behold[G2400] the[G3588] handmaid[G1399] of the Lord;[G2962] be[G1096] it unto me[G3427] according[G2596] to thy[G4675] word.[G4487] And[G2532] the[G3588] angel[G32] departed[G565] from[G575] her.[G846]
39. And[G1161] Mary[G3137] arose[G450] in[G1722] those[G5025] days,[G2250] and went[G4198] into[G1519] the[G3588] hill country[G3714] with[G3326] haste,[G4710] into[G1519] a city[G4172] of Judah;[G2448]
40. And[G2532] entered[G1525] into[G1519] the[G3588] house[G3624] of Zacharias,[G2197] and[G2532] saluted[G782] Elisabeth.[G1665]
41. And[G2532] it came to pass,[G1096] that, when[G5613] Elisabeth[G1665] heard[G191] the[G3588] salutation[G783] of Mary,[G3137] the[G3588] babe[G1025] leaped[G4640] in[G1722] her[G846] womb;[G2836] and[G2532] Elisabeth[G1665] was filled[G4130] with the Holy[G40] Ghost: [G4151]
42. And[G2532] she spake out[G400] with a loud[G3173] voice,[G5456] and[G2532] said,[G2036] Blessed[G2127] art thou[G4771] among[G1722] women,[G1135] and[G2532] blessed[G2127] is the[G3588] fruit[G2590] of thy[G4675] womb.[G2836]
43. And[G2532] whence[G4159] is this[G5124] to me,[G3427] that[G2443] the[G3588] mother[G3384] of my[G3450] Lord[G2962] should come[G2064] to[G4314] me?[G3165]
44. For,[G1063] lo,[G2400] as soon as[G5613] the[G3588] voice[G5456] of thy[G4675] salutation[G783] sounded[G1096] in[G1519] mine[G3450] ears,[G3775] the[G3588] babe[G1025] leaped[G4640] in[G1722] my[G3450] womb[G2836] for[G1722] joy.[G20]
45. And[G2532] blessed[G3107] is she that believed[G4100] for[G3754] there shall be[G2071] a performance[G5050] of those things which were told[G2980] her[G846] from[G3844] the Lord.[G2962]
46. And[G2532] Mary[G3137] said,[G2036]

56. And[G1161] Mary[G3137] abode[G3306] with[G4862] her[G846] about[G5616] three[G5140] months,[G3376] and[G2532] returned[G5290] to[G1519] her own[G848] house.[G3624]
57. Now[G1161] Elisabeth's[G1665] full time[G5550] came[G4130] that she[G846] should be delivered;[G5088] and[G2532] she brought forth[G1080] a son.[G5207]
58. And[G2532] her[G848] neighbors[G4040] and[G2532] her cousins[G4773] heard[G191] how[G3754] the Lord[G2962] had showed great mercy[G3170] [G848] [G1656] upon[G3326] her;[G846] and[G2532] they rejoiced with[G4796] her.[G846]
59. And[G2532] it came to pass,[G1096] that on[G1722] the[G3588] eighth[G3590] day[G2250] they came[G2064] to circumcise[G4059] the[G3588] child;[G3813] and[G2532] they called[G2564] him[G846] Zacharias,[G2197] after[G1909] the[G3588] name[G3686] of his[G846] father.[G3962]
60. And[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384] answered[G611] and said,[G2036] Not[G3780] so; but[G235] he shall be called[G2564] John.[G2491]
61. And[G2532] they said[G2036] unto[G4314] her,[G846] There is[G2076] none[G3762] of[G1722] thy[G4675] kindred[G4772] that[G3739] is called[G2564] by this[G5129] name.[G3686]
62. And[G2532] they made signs[G1770] to his[G846] father,[G3962] how[G5101] he would have[G2309] [G302] him[G846] called.[G2564]
63. And[G2532] he asked[G154] for a writing table,[G4093] and wrote,[G1125] saying,[G3004] His[G846] name[G3686] is[G2076] John.[G2491] And[G2532] they marveled[G2296] all.[G3956]
64. And[G1161] his[G846] mouth[G4750] was opened[G455] immediately,[G3916] and[G2532] his[G846] tongue[G1100] loosed, and[G2532] he spake,[G2980] and praised[G2127] God.[G2316]
65. And[G2532] fear[G5401] came[G1096] on[G1909] all[G3956] that dwelt round about[G4039] them:[G846] and[G2532] all[G3956] these[G5023] sayings[G4487] were noised abroad[G1255] throughout[G1722] all[G3650] the[G3588] hill country[G3714] of Judea.[G2449]
66. And[G2532] all[G3956] they that heard[G191] them laid them up[G5087] in[G1722] their[G848] hearts,[G2588] saying,[G3004] What manner[G5101] of[G686] child[G3813] shall this[G5124] be![G2071] And[G2532] the hand[G5495] of the Lord[G2962] was[G2258] with[G3326] him.[G846]
67. And[G2532] his[G846] father[G3962] Zacharias[G2197] was filled[G4130] with the Holy[G40] Ghost,[G4151] and[G2532] prophesied,[G4395] saying,[G3004]
