献给提阿费罗
1 提阿费罗大人哪，既然有许多人着手编录关于在我们中间所成就的事， 2 就是照着从起初以来的目击者和做福音[a]仆人的那些人所传给我们的， 3 我也已经从头仔细地追踪了这一切，我就认为应该按着次序写给您， 4 好让您了解到您所领受的话语都是确实的。
预言约翰诞生
5 在犹太王希律的那些日子里，有一个祭司名叫撒迦利亚，属于亚比雅班组。他的妻子也是亚伦的子孙[b]，名叫伊莉莎白。 6 他们两个人在神面前都是义人，遵行主的一切诫命和公义规定，无可指责。 7 可是他们没有孩子，因为伊莉莎白不能生育，两个人又都上了年纪。
8 有一次，当撒迦利亚的班组轮值的时候，撒迦利亚在神面前履行祭司的职务， 9 照着祭司职务的规矩，抽中了签就进入主的圣所烧香。 10 烧香的时候，全体民众都在外面祷告。 11 有主的一位天使站在香坛的右边向他显现。 12 撒迦利亚看见后，就惊慌不安，恐惧就临到了他。 13 天使对他说：
“撒迦利亚，不要怕，
因为你的祈祷已蒙垂听。
你的妻子伊莉莎白要为你生一个儿子，
你要给他起名叫约翰。
14 他将使你欢喜、快乐，
许多人也会因他的诞生而欢欣，
15 因为他将要在主面前为大。
淡酒和烈酒他绝不能喝，
还在母腹中的时候，
他就会被圣灵充满。
16 他将使许多以色列子民
归向主——他们的神。
17 他将藉着以利亚的灵和能力，
在主的面前先行，
使父亲的心
转向儿女，
使悖逆的人
转向义人的智慧，
好为主准备一群预备好了的子民。”
18 撒迦利亚对天使说：“我凭着什么能知道这事呢？我是个老人，我的妻子也上了年纪。”
19 天使回答他，说：“我是站在神面前的加百列，奉差派来对你说话，向你传达这些好消息。 20 看哪，你要成为哑巴，不能说话，一直到这些事成就的日子，因为你不相信我的话！到了时候，我的话就会应验。”
21 民众等候着撒迦利亚，对他在圣所里的迟延不出感到惊奇。 22 当他出来不能和他们说话的时候，他们才了解他在圣所里看到了异象。撒迦利亚一直向他们打手势，却始终不能说话。 23 他服事的日子满了以后，就回家去了。
24 这些日子以后，他的妻子伊莉莎白怀了孕，隐居了五个月。她说： 25 “为了除去我在人间的耻辱，主在这些眷顾的日子里，这样看待了我。”
预言基督诞生
26 在第六个月，天使加百列从神那里奉差派，去加利利一个叫拿撒勒的城， 27 到一个童贞女那里。这童贞女名叫玛丽亚，已经许配给大卫家族一个名叫约瑟的人。 28 天使[c]来到她面前，说：“蒙大恩的女子，愿你欢喜，主与你同在！[d]” 29 玛丽亚因这话就惊慌不安，思索这问候到底是什么意思。 30 天使对她说：
“玛丽亚，不要怕，
因为你在神面前蒙恩了。
31 看哪，
你将要怀孕生一个儿子，
你要给他起名叫耶稣。
32 他将要为大，
被称为至高者的儿子；
主、神要把他先祖大卫的王位赐给他。
33 他要做王统管雅各家，直到永远，
他的国度没有穷尽。”
34 玛丽亚对天使说：“我既然没有出嫁[e]，怎么会有这事呢？”
35 天使回答她，说：
“圣灵将要临到你，
至高者的大能要荫庇你，
因此，那要诞生的圣者
将被称为神的儿子。
36 你看，你的亲戚伊莉莎白虽然年老，也怀了男胎；那被称为不能生育的，现在已有六个月的身孕[f]了。 37 因为在神没有什么事是不可能的。”
38 玛丽亚说：“看哪，我是主的婢女，愿这事照着你的话成就在我身上。”于是天使离开了她。
玛丽亚与伊莉莎白
39 就在那些日子里，玛丽亚起身到山区去，赶往犹大的一个城， 40 进了撒迦利亚的家，问候伊莉莎白。 41 伊莉莎白一听到玛丽亚的问候，胎儿就在她的腹中跳动，伊莉莎白也被圣灵充满， 42 大声呼喊说：
“你在妇女中是蒙祝福的，
你腹中的胎儿[g]也是蒙祝福的！
43 我主的母亲竟然到我这里来，这事怎么会临到我呢？ 44 看哪，原来你问候的声音一传入我的耳朵，胎儿就在我的腹中欢喜跳跃。 45 这相信的女子是蒙福的，因为主对她说的话都会实现。”
玛丽亚的颂赞
46 玛丽亚说：
“我的心尊主为大，
47 我的灵以神我的救主为乐，
48 因为他看顾他婢女的卑微。
看哪，从今以后，
世世代代都要称我有福，
49 因为那全能者
为我行了大事；
他的名是神圣的。
50 他的怜悯，
世世代代临到敬畏他的人。
51 他用膀臂施展大能，
驱散那些心思意念骄傲的人。
52 他把权能者从高位上拉下，
又把卑微的人[h]高举。
53 他用美物满足饥饿的人，
让富有的人空手而去。
54 他扶助他的仆人以色列，
不忘怜悯，
55 正如他对我们祖先，
对亚伯拉罕和他的后裔所说的，直到永远。”
56 玛丽亚与伊莉莎白一起住了大约三个月，就回家去了。
约翰的出生与命名
57 伊莉莎白产期到了，生了一个儿子。 58 她的邻居和亲戚听说主向她大施怜悯，就与她一同欢乐。
59 到了第八天，他们来给孩子行割礼，要按照他父亲的名字叫他撒迦利亚。 60 可是孩子的母亲应声说：“不！他要被称为约翰。”
61 他们对她说：“你的亲族中没有叫这名字的。” 62 于是他们向孩子的父亲打手势，到底他愿意叫他什么名字。 63 撒迦利亚要了一块写字板，写上：“他的名字是约翰。”大家都感到惊奇。 64 撒迦利亚的口立刻开了，舌头也松了，就说出话来，颂赞神。 65 于是住在他们周围的人都感到惧怕，整个犹太山区的人也都在谈论这一切事。 66 所有听见的人都把这一切存在心里，说：“这孩子将来究竟会怎么样呢？”因为显然有主的手与他同在。
撒迦利亚的预言
67 他的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满，就预言说：
68 “主——以色列的神是当受颂赞的，
因为他临到[i]了他的子民，
并施行了救赎。
69 他在他的仆人大卫家中，
为我们兴起了一只救恩的角，
70 正如他自古以来藉着圣先知们的口所说的，
71 拯救我们脱离敌人[j]、脱离一切恨我们之人的手，
72 向我们的祖先施怜悯，
不忘他神圣的约，
73 就是向我们的先祖亚伯拉罕所起的誓，
74 使我们从敌人[k]的手中被救出，
75 在我们所有的日子里无所惧怕，以圣洁和公义事奉他；
76 而你——孩子啊！
你将被称为至高者的先知，
因为你将走在主的前面，
预备他的路，
77 藉着罪得赦免，
赐给他的子民救恩的知识。
78 因着我们神怜悯的心肠[l]，
黎明的曙光将从高天临到[m]我们，
79 照亮那些坐在黑暗
和死亡阴影中的人，
引导我们的脚步进入平安[n]之路。”
80 那孩子渐渐长大，灵里刚强。他住在旷野，直到他向以色列公开出现的那天。

Introducción
1 Por cuanto muchos han tratado de poner en orden y escribir una historia de las cosas que entre nosotros son muy ciertas[a](A), 2 tal como nos las dieron a conocer los que desde el principio(B) fueron[b] testigos oculares(C) y ministros(D) de la palabra[c](E), 3 también a mí me ha parecido conveniente, después de haberlo investigado todo con diligencia desde el principio(F), escribírtelas ordenadamente(G), excelentísimo(H) Teófilo(I), 4 para que sepas la verdad precisa acerca de las cosas que te han sido enseñadas(J).
Anuncio del nacimiento de Juan el Bautista
5 Hubo en los días de Herodes(K), rey de Judea, cierto sacerdote llamado Zacarías, del grupo de Abías(L), que tenía por mujer una de las hijas de Aarón[d] que se llamaba Elisabet. 6 Ambos eran justos delante de Dios(M), y se conducían intachablemente(N) en todos los mandamientos y preceptos del Señor. 7 No tenían hijos, porque Elisabet era estéril, y ambos eran de edad avanzada[e].
8 Pero aconteció que mientras Zacarías[f] ejercía su ministerio sacerdotal delante de Dios según el orden indicado a su grupo(O), 9 conforme a la costumbre del sacerdocio, fue escogido por sorteo para entrar al templo del Señor y quemar incienso(P). 10 Toda la multitud del pueblo estaba afuera orando(Q) a la hora de la ofrenda de incienso. 11 Y se le apareció a Zacarías un ángel del Señor(R), de pie, a la derecha del altar del incienso. 12 Al verlo, Zacarías se turbó, y el temor se apoderó de[g] él(S).
13 Pero el ángel le dijo: «No temas(T), Zacarías, porque tu petición ha sido oída, y tu mujer Elisabet te dará a luz un hijo, y lo llamarás[h] Juan(U). 14 Tendrás gozo y alegría y muchos se regocijarán por su nacimiento, 15 porque él será grande delante del Señor. No beberá vino ni licor(V), y será lleno del Espíritu Santo aun desde el vientre de su madre, 16 y hará volver a muchos de los israelitas al Señor su Dios(W). 17 Él irá delante del Señor(X) en el espíritu y poder de Elías(Y) para hacer volver los corazones de los padres a los hijos(Z), y a los desobedientes a la actitud de los justos, a fin de preparar(AA) para el Señor un pueblo bien dispuesto».
18 Entonces Zacarías dijo al ángel: «¿Cómo podré saber esto? Porque yo soy anciano y mi mujer es de edad avanzada[i](AB)». 19 El ángel le respondió: «Yo soy Gabriel(AC), que estoy en[j] la presencia de Dios(AD), y he sido enviado para hablarte y anunciarte estas buenas nuevas. 20 Así que te quedarás mudo, y no podrás hablar hasta el día en que todo esto acontezca, por cuanto no creíste mis palabras, las cuales se cumplirán a su debido tiempo».
21 El pueblo estaba esperando a Zacarías y se extrañaba de su tardanza en el templo. 22 Pero cuando salió, no podía hablarles, y se dieron cuenta de que había visto una visión en el templo. Él les hablaba por señas(AE) y permanecía mudo. 23 [k]Cuando se cumplieron los días de su servicio sacerdotal, regresó a su casa.
24 Después de estos días, Elisabet su mujer concibió, y se recluyó[l] por cinco meses, diciendo: 25 «Así ha obrado el Señor conmigo en los días en que se dignó mirarme para quitar mi afrenta entre los hombres(AF)».
Anuncio del nacimiento de Jesús
26 Al sexto mes, el ángel Gabriel(AG) fue enviado por Dios a una ciudad de Galilea llamada Nazaret(AH), 27 a una virgen comprometida para casarse con un hombre que se llamaba José(AI), de los descendientes[m] de David(AJ); y el nombre de la virgen era María. 28 Y entrando el ángel, le dijo: «¡Salve, muy favorecida[n]! El Señor está contigo; bendita eres tú entre las mujeres[o]».
29 Ella se turbó(AK) mucho por estas[p] palabras, y se preguntaba qué clase de saludo sería este. 30 Y el ángel le dijo: «No temas(AL), María, porque has hallado gracia delante de Dios. 31 Concebirás en tu seno y darás a luz un Hijo, y le pondrás por[q] nombre Jesús(AM). 32 Este será grande y será llamado Hijo del Altísimo(AN), y el Señor Dios le dará el trono de Su padre David(AO); 33 y reinará sobre la casa de Jacob(AP) para siempre, y Su reino no tendrá fin(AQ)».
34 Entonces María dijo al ángel: «¿Cómo será esto, puesto que soy virgen[r]?». 35 El ángel le respondió: «El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti(AR), y el poder del Altísimo(AS) te cubrirá con su sombra; por eso el santo Niño(AT) que nacerá[s] será llamado Hijo de Dios(AU). 36 Tu parienta Elisabet en su vejez también ha concebido un hijo; y este es el sexto mes para ella, la que llamaban estéril. 37 Porque ninguna cosa será imposible para[t] Dios(AV)». 38 Entonces María dijo: «Aquí tienes a la sierva del Señor; hágase conmigo conforme a tu palabra». Y el ángel se fue de su presencia.
María visita a Elisabet
39 En esos[u] días María se levantó y fue apresuradamente a la región montañosa(AW), a una ciudad de Judá; 40 y entró en casa de Zacarías y saludó a Elisabet. 41 Cuando Elisabet oyó el saludo de María, la criatura saltó en su vientre; y Elisabet fue llena del Espíritu Santo(AX), 42 y exclamó a gran voz: «¡Bendita tú entre las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu vientre! 43 ¿Por qué me ha acontecido esto a mí[v], que la madre de mi Señor(AY) venga a mí? 44 Porque apenas la voz de tu saludo llegó a mis oídos, la criatura saltó de gozo en mi vientre. 45 Y bienaventurada(AZ) la que creyó que tendrá[w] cumplimiento lo que le fue dicho de parte del Señor».
46 Entonces María dijo:
«(BA)Mi alma engrandece al Señor(BB),
47 Y mi espíritu se regocija en Dios(BC) mi Salvador(BD).
48 -»Porque ha mirado la humilde condición de esta su sierva;
Pues desde ahora en adelante todas las generaciones me tendrán por bienaventurada(BE).
49 -»Porque grandes cosas me ha hecho el Poderoso;
Y santo es Su nombre.
50 -»Y de generación en generación[x] es Su misericordia
Para los que le temen(BF).
51 -»Ha hecho proezas[y] con Su brazo(BG);
Ha esparcido a los soberbios en el pensamiento de sus corazones.
52 -»Ha quitado a los poderosos de sus tronos;
Y ha exaltado a los humildes(BH);
53 A los hambrientos ha colmado de bienes(BI)
Y ha despedido a los ricos con las manos vacías.
54 -»Ha ayudado a Israel, Su siervo,
Para recuerdo de Su[z] misericordia
55 Tal como dijo a nuestros padres,
A Abraham y a su descendencia[aa] para siempre(BJ)».
56 María se quedó con Elisabet[ab] como tres meses y después regresó a su casa.
Nacimiento de Juan el Bautista
57 Cuando a Elisabet se le cumplió el tiempo de su alumbramiento, dio a luz un hijo. 58 Y sus vecinos y parientes oyeron que el Señor había demostrado[ac] Su gran misericordia(BK) hacia ella, y se regocijaban con ella. 59 Al octavo día vinieron para circuncidar al niño(BL), y lo iban a llamar Zacarías según el nombre de su padre. 60 «No, sino que se llamará Juan(BM)», respondió la madre. 61 Y le dijeron: «No hay nadie en tu familia[ad] que tenga ese nombre». 62 Entonces preguntaban por[ae] señas(BN) al padre, cómo lo quería llamar. 63 Él pidió una tablilla y escribió lo siguiente[af]: «Su nombre es Juan(BO)». Y todos se maravillaron.
64 Al instante le fue abierta su boca y suelta su lengua, y comenzó a hablar(BP) dando alabanza a Dios. 65 Y vino temor sobre todos los que vivían a su alrededor; y todas estas cosas se comentaban en toda la región montañosa(BQ) de Judea. 66 Todos los que las oían las guardaban en su corazón, diciendo: «¿Qué, pues, llegará a ser este niño?». Porque la mano del Señor ciertamente estaba con él(BR).
Profecía de Zacarías
67 Su padre Zacarías fue lleno del Espíritu Santo(BS), y profetizó(BT) diciendo:
68 «Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel,
Porque nos ha visitado y ha traído redención(BU) para Su pueblo,
69 Y nos ha levantado un cuerno de salvación(BV)
En la casa de David Su siervo(BW),
70 Tal como lo anunció[ag] por boca de Sus santos profetas(BX) desde los tiempos antiguos(BY),
71 Salvación[ah](BZ) de nuestros enemigos
Y de la mano de todos los que nos aborrecen(CA);
72 Para mostrar misericordia(CB) a nuestros padres,
Y para recordar Su santo pacto(CC),
73 El juramento que hizo[ai] a nuestro padre Abraham(CD):
74 Concedernos que, librados de la mano de nuestros enemigos,
Le sirvamos sin temor,
75 En santidad y justicia(CE) delante de Él, todos nuestros días.
76 -»Y tú, niño, serás llamado profeta(CF) del Altísimo(CG);
Porque irás delante del Señor(CH) para preparar Sus caminos(CI);
77 Para dar a Su pueblo el conocimiento de la salvación
Por[aj] el perdón de sus pecados(CJ),
78 Por la entrañable misericordia de nuestro Dios,
Con que la Aurora(CK) nos visitará desde lo alto,
79 Para dar luz a los que habitan en tinieblas y en sombra de muerte(CL),
Para guiar nuestros pies en el camino de paz».
80 Y el niño crecía y se fortalecía(CM) en espíritu; y vivió en lugares desiertos hasta el día en que apareció en público a Israel.

Introduction(A)
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first(B) were eyewitnesses(C) and servants of the word.(D) 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account(E) for you, most excellent(F) Theophilus,(G) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.(H)
The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea(I) there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah;(J) his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.(K) 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,(L) 9 he was chosen by lot,(M) according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.(N) 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.(O)
11 Then an angel(P) of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.(Q) 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.(R) 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid,(S) Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.(T) 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,(U) 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink,(V) and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit(W) even before he is born.(X) 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord,(Y) in the spirit and power of Elijah,(Z) to turn the hearts of the parents to their children(AA) and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”(AB)
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this?(AC) I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”(AD)
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel.(AE) I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak(AF) until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs(AG) to them but remained unable to speak.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace(AH) among the people.”
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel(AI) to Nazareth,(AJ) a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,(AK) a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,(AL) Mary; you have found favor with God.(AM) 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.(AN) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.(AO) The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,(AP) 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom(AQ) will never end.”(AR)
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you,(AS) and the power of the Most High(AT) will overshadow you. So the holy one(AU) to be born will be called[b] the Son of God.(AV) 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child(AW) in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”(AX)
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,(AY) 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.(AZ) 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women,(BA) and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord(BB) should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary’s Song(BC)
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord(BD)
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,(BE)
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.(BF)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,(BG)
49 for the Mighty One has done great things(BH) for me—
holy is his name.(BI)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.(BJ)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;(BK)
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.(BL)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.(BM)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things(BN)
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful(BO)
55 to Abraham and his descendants(BP) forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
The Birth of John the Baptist
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise(BQ) the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”(BR)
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs(BS) to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”(BT) 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak,(BU) praising God. 65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea(BV) people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.(BW)
Zechariah’s Song
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(BX) and prophesied:(BY)
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(BZ)
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.(CA)
69 He has raised up a horn[c](CB) of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David(CC)
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),(CD)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors(CE)
and to remember his holy covenant,(CF)
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:(CG)
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him(CH) without fear(CI)
75 in holiness and righteousness(CJ) before him all our days.
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet(CK) of the Most High;(CL)
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,(CM)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,(CN)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun(CO) will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,(CP)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”(CQ)
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[d];(CR) and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.

Luke 1
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 helped 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.
