Forasmuch

many
have taken in
hand
to set forth in
order
a
declaration

those
things

believed
among
us

strkjv@Luke:1:2
@
Even
as they
delivered
them unto
us

which
from
the
beginning
were
eyewitnesses

ministers

word

strkjv@Luke:1:3

seemed
good to me

perfect

first

write
unto

in

excellent
Theophilus

strkjv@Luke:1:5
@ There
was
in
the
days
of
Herod
, the
king
of
Judaea

certain
priest
named
Zacharias
,
of
the
course
of
Abia
:
and
his
wife
was
of
the
daughters
of
Aaron
,
and
her
name
was
Elisabeth

strkjv@Luke:1:6

And
they
were
both
righteous
before
God
,
walking
in
all
the
commandments
and
ordinances
of the
Lord
blameless
.
strkjv@Luke:1:7
@
And
they
had
no
child
,
because
that
Elisabeth
was
barren
,
and
they
both
were
now well
stricken
in
years
.
strkjv@Luke:1:8
@
And
it came to
pass
, that
while
he
executed the priests
office
before
God
in
the
order
of
his
course
,
strkjv@Luke:1:9
@
According
to the
custom
of the priests
office
, his
lot
was to burn
incense
when he
went
into
the
temple
of the
Lord
.
strkjv@Luke:1:10
@
And
the
whole
multitude
of the
people
were
praying
without
at the
time
of
incense
.
strkjv@Luke:1:11
@
And
there
appeared
unto
him
an
angel
of the
Lord
standing
on
the right
side
of the
altar
of
incense
.
strkjv@Luke:1:12
@
And
when
Zacharias
saw
him, he was
troubled
,
and
fear
fell
upon
him
.
strkjv@Luke: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

strkjv@Luke:1:14
@
And
thou
shalt
have
joy
and
gladness
;
and
many
shall
rejoice
at
his
birth

strkjv@Luke: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
mothers
womb
.
strkjv@Luke:1:16
@
And
many
of the
children
of
Israel
shall he
turn
to
the
Lord
their
God
.
strkjv@Luke:1:17
@
And
he
shall
go
before
him
in
the
spirit

power
of
Elias
, to
turn
the
hearts
of the
fathers
to
the
children
,

disobedient
to
the
wisdom
of the
just
; to make
ready
a
people
prepared
for the
Lord

strkjv@Luke:1:18
@

Zacharias
said
unto
the
angel
,
Whereby
shall I
know
this
?
for
I
am
an old
man
,
and
my
wife
well
stricken
in
years
.
strkjv@Luke:1:19
@
And
the
angel
answering
said
unto
him
,
I
am
Gabriel
, that
stand
in the
presence

God

am
sent
to
speak
unto
thee

shew
thee

thou
shalt be

not

day

performed

thou
believest

my
words

shall be
fulfilled
in
their
season

strkjv@Luke:1:21
@
And
the
people
waited
for
Zacharias
,

marvelled
that
he
tarried so
long
in
the
temple

strkjv@Luke:1:22
@
And
when he came
out
, he
could
not
speak
unto
them

they
perceived
that
he had
seen
a
vision
in
the
temple
:
for
he
beckoned
unto
them
,
and
remained
speechless
.
strkjv@Luke:1:23
@
And
it came to

the
days

ministration
were
accomplished

departed

house

strkjv@Luke:1:24
@
And
after
those
days
his

Elisabeth
conceived

herself
five

strkjv@Luke:1:25
@
Thus
hath
the
Lord
dealt
with
me
in
the
days

he looked
on
me, to take
away
my
reproach

men

strkjv@Luke:1:26
@
And
in
the
sixth

the
angel
Gabriel
was
sent
from
God
unto
a
city

Galilee

named
Nazareth

strkjv@Luke:1:27
@
To
a
virgin
espoused

in
unto

favoured

Lord
is
with
thee

art
thou
among

strkjv@Luke:1:29
@
And
when she
saw
him, she was
troubled
at
his
saying

cast in her
mind
what
manner

salutation
this
should
be
.
strkjv@Luke:1:30
@

unto

Fear
not

for
thou hast
found
favour

strkjv@Luke:1:31
@
And
,
behold

conceive

call

Then
said
Mary
unto

,
How
shall
this
be
,
seeing
I
know
not
a
man

come
upon
thee

shall
overshadow
thee

also
conceived

age

sixth

it
unto

angel
departed
from

Mary
arose
in

entered
into

it came to

when

heard
the
salutation

babe
leaped
in

womb

Elisabeth
was
filled
with the
Holy
Ghost

she spake
out

art
thou
