Lk Chapters 1 Verses 1-80

 

1:1
As
a
number
of
attempts
have been
made
to
put together
in order
an
account
of
those
events
which
took place
among
us,
1:2
As
they
were
handed
down
to
us
by
those
who
saw
them
from
the
first
and
were
preachers
of
the
word,
1:3
It
seemed
good
to
me,
having
made
observation,
with
great
care,
of
the
direction
of
events
in
their
order,
to
put
the
facts
in
writing
for
you,
most
noble
Theophilus;
1:4
So
that
you
might
have
certain
knowledge
of
those
things
about
which
you
were
given
teaching.
1:5
In
the
days
of
Herod,
king
of
Judaea,
there
was
a
certain
priest,
by
name
Zacharias,
of
the
order
of
Abijah;
and
he
had
a
wife
of
the
family
of
Aaron,
and
her
name
was
Elisabeth.
1:6
They
were
upright
in
the
eyes
of
God,
keeping
all
the
rules
and
orders
of
God,
and
doing
no
wrong.
1:7
And
they
were
without
children,
because
Elisabeth
had
never
given
birth,
and
they
were
at
that
time
very
old.
1:8
Now
it
came
about
that
in
his turn
he
was
acting
as
priest
before
God,
1:9
And
as
was
the
way
of
the
priests,
he
had to
go into
the
Temple
to
see
to
the
burning
of
perfumes.
1:10
And
all
the
people
were
offering
prayers
outside,
at
the
time
of
the
burning
of
perfumes.
1:11
And
he
saw
an
angel
of
the
Lord
in
his
place
on
the
right
side
of
the
altar.
1:12
And
Zacharias
was
troubled
when
he
saw
him,
and
fear
came
on
him.
1:13
But
the
angel
said,
Have
no
fear,
Zacharias,
for
your
prayer
has
come to
the
ears
of
God,
and
your
wife
Elisabeth
will
have
a
son,
and
his
name
will
be
John.
1:14
And
you
will
be
glad
and
have
great
delight;
and
numbers
of
people
will
have
joy
at
his
birth.
1:15
For
he
will
be
great
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord;
he
will not
take
wine
or
strong
drink;
and
he
will
be
full
of
the
Spirit
of
God
from
his
birth.
1:16
And
through
him
great
numbers
of
the
children
of
Israel
will
be
turned
to
the
Lord
their
God.
1:17
And
he
will
go
before
his
face
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
Elijah,
turning
the
hearts
of
fathers
to
their
children,
and
wrongdoers
to
the
way
of
righteousness;
to
make
ready
a
people
whose
hearts
have been
turned
to
the
Lord.
1:18
And
Zacharias
said
to
the
angel,
How
may
I
be
certain
of
this?
For
I
am
an
old man,
and
my
wife
is
far
on
in
years.
1:19
And
the
angel,
answering,
said,
I
am
Gabriel,
whose
place
is
before
God;
I
have been
sent
to
say
these
words
to
you
and
to
give
you
this
good news.
1:20
Now,
see,
you
will
be
without
voice
or
language
till
the
day
when
these
things
come
about,
because
you
had not
faith
in
my
words,
which
will
have
effect
at
the
right time.
1:21
And
the
people
were
waiting
for
Zacharias
and
were
surprised
because
he
was
in
the
Temple
for
such
a
long time.
1:22
And
when
he
came out
he
was not
able
to
say
anything,
and
they
saw
that
he
had seen
a
vision
in
the
Temple;
and
he
was
making
signs
to
them
without
words.
1:23
And
when
the
days
of
his
work
in
the
Temple
were
ended,
he
went back
to
his
house.
1:24
After
that
time,
Elisabeth,
being
certain
that
she
was
to
become
a
mother,
kept
herself
from
men’s
eyes
for
five months,
saying,
1:25
The
Lord
has
done
this
to
me,
for
his
eyes
were
on
me,
to
take away
my
shame
in
the
eyes
of
men.
1:26
Now
in
the
sixth month
the
angel
Gabriel
was
sent
from
God
to
a
town
in
Galilee,
named
Nazareth,
1:27
To
a
virgin
who
was
to
be
married
to
a
man
named
Joseph,
of
the
family
of
David;
and
the
name
of
the
virgin
was
Mary.
1:28
And
the
angel
came in
to
her
and
said,
Peace
be
with
you,
to
whom
special
grace
has been
given;
the
Lord
is
with
you.
1:29
But
she
was
greatly
troubled
at
his
words,
and
said
to
herself,
What
may
be
the
purpose
of
these
words?
1:30
And
the
angel
said
to
her,
Have
no
fear,
Mary,
for
you
have
God’s
approval.
1:31
And
see,
you
will
give
birth
to
a
son,
and
his
name
will
be
Jesus.
1:32
He
will
be
great,
and
will
be
named
the
Son
of
the
Most
High:
and
the
Lord
God
will
give
him
the
kingdom
of
David,
his
father:
1:33
He
will
have
rule
over
the
house
of
Jacob
for ever,
and
of
his
kingdom
there
will
be
no
end.
1:34
And
Mary
said
to
the
angel,
How
may
this
be,
because
I
have
had
no
knowledge
of
a
man?
1:35
And
the
angel
in
answer
said
to
her,
The
Holy Spirit
will
come
on
you,
and
the
power
of
the
Most
High
will
come to
rest
on
you,
and
so
that
which
will
come to
birth
will
be
named
holy,
Son
of
God.
1:36
Even
now
Elisabeth,
who
is
of
your
family,
is
to
be
a
mother,
though
she
is
old:
and
this
is
the
sixth month
with
her
who
was
without
children.
1:37
For
there
is
nothing
which
God
is not
able
to
do.
1:38
And
Mary
said:
I
am
the
servant
of
the
Lord;
may
it
be
to
me
as
you
say.
And
the
angel
went away.
1:39
Then
Mary
got up
and
went
quickly
into
the
high
lands,
to
a
town
of
Judah;
1:40
And
went into
the
house
of
Zacharias
and
took
Elisabeth
in
her
arms.
1:41
And
when
the
voice
of
Mary
came to
the
ears
of
Elisabeth,
the
baby
made
a
sudden
move
inside
her;
then
Elisabeth
was
full
of
the
Holy Spirit,
1:42
And
she
said
with
a
loud
voice:
May
blessing
be
on
you
among
women,
and
a
blessing
on
the
child
of
your
body.
1:43
How
is
it
that
the
mother
of
my
Lord
comes to
me?
1:44
For,
truly,
when
the
sound
of
your
voice
came to
my
ears,
the
baby
in
my
body
made
a
sudden
move
for
joy.
1:45
Happy
will
she
be
who
had
faith
that
the
things
which
the
Lord
has
said
to
her
will
be
done.
1:46
And
Mary
said:
My
soul
gives
glory
to
God;
1:47
My
spirit
is
glad
in
God
my
Saviour.
1:48
For
he
has had
pity
on
his
servant,
though
she
is
poor
and
lowly
placed:
and
from
this
hour
will
all
generations
give
witness
to
the
blessing
which
has
come to
me.
1:49
For
he
who
is
strong
has
done
great
things
for
me;
and
holy
is
his
name.
1:50
His
mercy
is
for
all
generations
in
whom
is
the
fear
of
him.
1:51
With
his
arm
he
has
done
acts
of
power;
he
has
put
to
flight
those
who
have
pride
in
their
hearts.
1:52
He
has
put
down
kings
from
their
seats,
lifting
up
on
high
the
men
of
low
degree.
1:53
Those
who
had
no food
he
made
full
of
good things;
the
men
of
wealth
he
sent
away
with
nothing
in
their
hands;
1:54
His
help
he
has
given
to
Israel,
his
servant,
so
that
he
might
keep
in
mind
his
mercy
to
Abraham
and
his
seed
for ever,
1:55
As
he
gave
his
word
to
our
fathers.
1:56
And
Mary
was
with
her
for
about
three months
and
then
went back
to
her
house.
1:57
Now
it
was
time
for
Elisabeth
to
give
birth,
and
she
had
a
son.
1:58
And
it
came to
the
ears
of
her
neighbours
and
relations
that
the
Lord
had been
very good
to
her,
and
they
took
part
in
her
joy.
1:59
And
on
the
eighth
day
they
came to
see
to
the
circumcision
of
the
child,
and
they
would
have
given
him
the
name
of
Zacharias,
his
father’s
name;
1:60
But
his
mother
made
answer
and
said,
No,
his
name
is
John.
1:61
And
they
said,
Not
one
of
your
relations
has
that
name.
1:62
And
they
made
signs
to
his
father,
to
say
what
name
was
to
be
given
to
him.
1:63
And
he
sent
for
writing
materials
and
put
down:
His
name
is
John;
and
they
were
all
surprised.
1:64
And
straight away
his
mouth
was
open
and
his
tongue
was
free
and
he
gave
praise
to
God.
1:65
And
fear
came
on
all
those
who
were
living
round
about
them:
and
there
was
much
talk about
all
these
things
in
all
the
hill-country
of
Judaea.
1:66
And
all
who
had
word
of
them
kept
them
in
their
minds
and
said,
What
will
this
child
be?
For
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
with
him.
1:67
And
his
father,
Zacharias,
was
full
of
the
Holy Spirit,
and
with
the
voice
of
a
prophet
said
these
words:
1:68
Praise
be
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
for
he
has
come to
his
people
and
made
them
free,
1:69
Lifting
up
a
horn
of
salvation
for
us
in
the
house
of
his
servant
David,
1:70
(As
he
said,
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
prophets,
from
the
earliest
times,)
1:71
Salvation
from
those
who
are
against
us,
and
from
the
hands
of
those
who
have
hate
for
us;
1:72
To
do
acts
of
mercy
to
our
fathers
and
to
keep
in
mind
his
holy
word,
1:73
The
oath
which
he
made
to
Abraham,
our
father,
1:74
That
we,
being
made
free
from
the
fear
of
those
who
are
against
us,
might
give
him
worship,
1:75
In
righteousness
and
holy
living
before
him
all
our
days.
1:76
And
you,
child,
will
be
named
the
prophet
of
the
Most
High:
you
will
go
before
the
face
of
the
Lord,
to
make
ready
his
ways;
1:77
To
give
knowledge
of
salvation
to
his
people,
through
the
forgiveness
of
sins,
1:78
Because
of
the
loving
mercies
of
our
God,
by
which
the
dawn
from
heaven
has
come to
us,
1:79
To
give
light
to
those
in
dark
places,
and
in
the
shade
of
death,
so
that
our
feet
may
be
guided
into
the
way
of
peace.
1:80
And
the
child
became
tall,
and
strong
in
spirit;
and
he
was
living
in
the
waste
land
till
the
day
when
he
came before
the
eyes
of
Israel.
