Luke 1:1 (KJV) King James Version

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,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
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,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
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.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
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.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
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.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
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.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
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.
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.
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.
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.
21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
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.
23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
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.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
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:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
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.
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.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
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:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
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.
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
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.
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.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
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;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
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.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
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 My G3450 soul G5590 doth magnify G3170 the G3588 Lord, G2962
47 And G2532 my G3450 spirit G4151 hath rejoiced G21 in G1909 God G2316 my G3450 Savior. G4990
48 For G3754 he hath regarded G1914 the G3588 low estate G5014 of his G848 handmaiden: G1399 for, G1063 behold, G2400 from G575 henceforth G3568 all G3956 generations G1074 shall call me blessed G3106 G3165 .
49 For G3754 he that is mighty G1415 hath done G4160 to me G3427 great things; G3167 and G2532 holy G40 is his G846 name. G3686
50 And G2532 his G846 mercy G1656 is on them that fear G5399 him G846 from G1519 generation G1074 to generation. G1074
51 He hath showed G4160 strength G2904 with G1722 his G848 arm; G1023 he hath scattered G1287 the proud G5244 in the imagination G1271 of their G846 hearts. G2588
52 He hath put down G2507 the mighty G1413 from G575 their seats, G2362 and G2532 exalted G5312 them of low degree. G5011
53 He hath filled G1705 the hungry G3983 with good things; G18 and G2532 the rich G4147 he hath sent empty away G1821 G2756 .
54 He hath helped G482 his G848 servant G3816 Israel, G2474 in remembrance G3415 of his mercy; G1656
55 As G2531 he spake G2980 to G4314 our G2257 fathers, G3962 to Abraham, G11 and G2532 to his G846 seed G4690 forever G1519 G165 .
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
68 Blessed G2128 be the Lord G2962 God G2316 of Israel; G2474 for G3754 he hath visited G1980 and G2532 redeemed G4160 G3085 his G848 people, G2992
69 And G2532 hath raised up G1453 a horn G2768 of salvation G4991 for us G2254 in G1722 the G3588 house G3624 of his G848 servant G3816 David; G1138
70 As G2531 he spake G2980 by G1223 the mouth G4750 of his G848 holy G40 prophets, G4396 which G3588 have been since the world began G575 G165 :
71 That we should be saved G4991 from G1537 our G2257 enemies, G2190 and G2532 from G1537 the hand G5495 of all G3956 that hate G3404 us; G2248
72 To perform G4160 the mercy G1656 promised to G3326 our G2257 fathers, G3962 and G2532 to remember G3415 his G848 holy G40 covenant; G1242
73 The oath G3727 which G3739 he swore G3660 to G4314 our G2257 father G3962 Abraham, G11
74 That he would grant G1325 unto us, G2254 that we being delivered G4506 out of G1537 the hand G5495 of our G2257 enemies G2190 might serve G3000 him G846 without fear, G870
75 In G1722 holiness G3742 and G2532 righteousness G1343 before G1799 him, G846 all G3956 the G3588 days G2250 of our G2257 life. G2222
76 And G2532 thou, G4771 child, G3813 shalt be called G2564 the prophet G4396 of the Highest: G5310 for G1063 thou shalt go G4313 before G4253 the face G4383 of the Lord G2962 to prepare G2090 his G846 ways; G3598
77 To give G1325 knowledge G1108 of salvation G4991 unto his G846 people G2992 by G1722 the remission G859 of their G846 sins, G266
78 Through G1223 the tender mercy G4698 G1656 of our G2257 God; G2316 whereby G1722 G3739 the dayspring G395 from G1537 on high G5311 hath visited G1980 us, G2248
79 To give light G2014 to them that sit G2521 in G1722 darkness G4655 and G2532 in the shadow G4639 of death, G2288 to guide G2720 our G2257 feet G4228 into G1519 the way G3598 of peace. G1515
80 And G1161 the G3588 child G3813 grew, G837 and G2532 waxed strong G2901 in spirit, G4151 and G2532 was G2258 in G1722 the G3588 deserts G2048 till G2193 the day G2250 of his G846 showing G323 unto G4314 Israel. G2474
