Introdução
1 1-3 Excelentíssimo Teófilo,
Escreveram-se já várias narrativas sobre Cristo, em que se usaram relatos que nos foram feitos por aqueles que viram o que aconteceu desde o início e que se tornaram mensageiros da boa nova de Deus. Pareceu-me, contudo, que seria bom ordenar todos esses relatos, dos mais antigos para os mais recentes e, após um exame completo, dar-te um resumo dos factos que aconteceram no nosso meio, 4 para fortalecer a tua confiança na verdade de tudo o que te foi ensinado.
O nascimento de João Batista predito
5 No tempo em que Herodes era rei da Judeia, viveu um sacerdote judaico chamado Zacarias, que pertencia ao turno de Abias no serviço do templo. Tal como ele próprio, também sua mulher Isabel pertencia à tribo sacerdotal, sendo descendente de Aarão. 6 Zacarias e Isabel eram justos e observavam cuidadosamente todas as leis e preceitos de Deus. 7 Sucedia que não tinham filhos, pois Isabel era estéril e ambos já eram muito velhos.
8 Certo dia, encontrando-se Zacarias ocupado no seu cargo no templo, porque naquela semana era o turno em que estava de serviço, 9 coube-lhe por sorteio entrar no santuário interior e queimar incenso perante o Senhor. 10 Entretanto, uma grande multidão orava lá fora, no pátio do templo, como se fazia sempre que se queimava incenso.
11 Achava-se Zacarias no santuário quando, de súbito, lhe apareceu um anjo de pé à direita do altar do incenso! 12 Zacarias ficou perturbado e cheio de medo. 13 Mas o anjo disse-lhe: “Não receies, Zacarias, porque vim dizer-te que Deus ouviu as tuas orações e que a tua mulher Isabel vai dar à luz um filho, ao qual porás o nome de João! 14 O seu nascimento trará grande prazer e contentamento e muitos se alegrarão convosco, 15 pois ele será grande diante do Senhor. Nunca deverá beber vinho ou cerveja e será cheio do Espírito Santo antes mesmo do seu nascimento. 16 Convencerá muitos judeus a voltarem-se para o Senhor seu Deus. 17 Será um homem forte de espírito e dotado de grande poder, tal como o profeta Elias, preparando o povo para receber o Senhor. Porá o coração dos pais de acordo com o dos filhos e mudará as mentes desobedientes para que respeitem e obedeçam a Deus.”
18 Zacarias disse ao anjo: “Como posso ter a certeza de que isso vai acontecer? Já sou velho e a minha mulher também é de idade bastante avançada.”
19 Então o anjo disse: “Eu sou Gabriel! O meu lugar é na presença de Deus. Foi ele quem me enviou para trazer-te esta boa notícia! 20 Contudo, como não creste no que te disse, ficarás mudo e não poderás falar até que a criança nasça. As minhas palavras irão cumprir-se no devido tempo.”
21 Entretanto, o povo esperava que Zacarias aparecesse e admirava-se por se demorar tanto. 22 Quando finalmente saiu, não conseguia falar e perceberam pelos seus gestos que devia ter tido uma visão no templo. 23 Zacarias ficou ali durante os dias que lhe restavam de serviço. 24 Depois voltou para casa.
Passado pouco tempo, sua mulher Isabel ficou grávida e viveu recolhida durante cinco meses. 25 “Como o Senhor é bom”, exclamava, “livrando-me da tristeza de não ter filhos!”
O nascimento de Jesus anunciado a Maria
26 Passados seis meses, Deus enviou o anjo Gabriel a Nazaré, uma localidade da Galileia, 27 a uma virgem que se chamava Maria, que estava prometida em casamento a um homem chamado José, descendente do rei David. 28 Gabriel apareceu-lhe e disse: “Eu te saúdo, mulher favorecida! O Senhor está contigo!”
29 Confusa e perturbada, Maria perguntava a si própria o que quereria o anjo dizer com aquelas palavras. 30 “Não tenhas medo, Maria”, continuou o anjo, “porque Deus vai conceder-te uma bênção maravilhosa! 31 Muito em breve ficarás grávida e terás um menino, a quem chamarás Jesus. 32 Será grande e será chamado Filho do Altíssimo. O Senhor Deus vai dar-lhe o trono do seu antepassado, o rei David. 33 Governará sobre a descendência de Jacob para sempre. O seu reino jamais terá fim!”
34 Maria, então, perguntou ao anjo: “Mas como posso ter um filho se sou virgem?”
35 O anjo respondeu: “O Espírito Santo virá sobre ti e o poder do Deus altíssimo cobrir-te-á como uma sombra; por isso, o menino que de ti vai nascer será santo e será chamado Filho de Deus. 36 Também a tua parente Isabel, que toda a gente considerava estéril, ficou grávida há seis meses, apesar da sua velhice! 37 Porque nada é impossível para Deus.”
38 E Maria respondeu: “Dependo só do Senhor. Que aconteça comigo tudo o que disseste.” Então o anjo desapareceu.
Maria visita Isabel
39 Alguns dias mais tarde, Maria foi apressadamente às terras montanhosas da Judeia, 40 à vila onde Zacarias morava, para visitar Isabel. 41 Quando Maria saudou a prima, o menino de Isabel saltou no seu ventre e Isabel ficou cheia do Espírito Santo.
42 Com grande contentamento, Isabel exclamou, dirigindo-se a Maria: “Bendita és tu entre as mulheres e bendito é o filho que estás a gerar. 43 É uma grande honra ser visitada pela mãe do meu Senhor! 44 Quando me deste a tua saudação, no momento em que ouvi a tua voz, o menino saltou de alegria dentro de mim! 45 És feliz por teres acreditado que Deus cumpriria as coisas que te foram ditas.”
O cântico de Maria
46 E Maria respondeu:
“Oh, como eu louvo o Senhor!
47 E quanto me alegro em Deus, meu Salvador!
48 Porque reparou na sua humilde servidora,
e agora, por todas as gerações, serei chamada bendita de Deus.
49 Pois ele, o Deus santo e poderoso, fez-me grandes coisas.
50 A sua misericórdia estende-se para sempre a todos os que o temem.
51 Como é poderoso o seu forte braço!
Como faz fugir os orgulhosos e os arrogantes!
52 Arrancou os príncipes dos seus tronos
e exaltou os humildes.
53 Fartou os famintos com coisas boas
e mandou embora os ricos de mãos vazias.
54 Socorreu o povo de Israel, que o serve!
Não esqueceu a sua promessa de se mostrar compassivo.
55 Porque prometeu aos nossos pais, Abraão e seus filhos,
ser misericordioso com eles para sempre.”
56 Maria ficou com Isabel cerca de três meses e depois voltou para casa.
O nascimento de João Batista
57 Entretanto, o período de espera de Isabel chegou ao seu termo, e veio a hora da criança nascer. Era um menino. 58 A notícia de como o Senhor tinha sido bondoso para ela espalhou-se rapidamente entre vizinhos e parentes, e todos se alegraram com ela.
59 Oito dias depois de nascer, parentes e amigos vieram para a cerimónia da circuncisão. Todos julgavam que a criança se chamaria Zacarias, como o pai. 60 Mas Isabel disse: “Não, ele vai chamar-se João!” 61 E exclamaram:
“João? Em toda a tua família não há ninguém que se chame assim.”
62 Então perguntaram por gestos ao pai da criança como iria ela chamar-se. 63 Ele pediu por sinais uma pequena placa e, com grande espanto de todos, escreveu: “O nome dele é João.” 64 E logo Zacarias conseguiu falar de novo, começando a louvar Deus. 65 O pasmo espalhou-se por toda a vizinhança e a notícia do sucedido correu pelos montes da Judeia.
66 Todos quantos ouviam falar no caso pensavam demoradamente e perguntavam: “Quem virá a ser este menino no futuro? Porque, de facto, a mão do Senhor está sobre ele de maneira muito especial.”
67 Então seu pai, Zacarias, cheio do Espírito Santo, falou em nome de Deus:
O cântico de Zacarias
68 “Louvem o Senhor, o Deus de Israel,
porque veio dar auxílio ao seu povo e o salvou.
69 Agora manda-nos um Salvador poderoso,
da descendência do seu servo, o rei David,
70 conforme prometeu através dos santos profetas,
há muito tempo,
71 alguém que nos livre dos nossos inimigos,
de todos os que nos odeiam.
72-73 Teve piedade dos nossos antepassados,
sim, do próprio Abraão,
lembrando-se da aliança sagrada que com ele fez,
74 dando-nos o privilégio de servir a Deus sem receio,
libertos dos nossos inimigos,
75 tornando-nos santos e aceitáveis,
aptos para estar na sua presença para sempre.
76 E tu, meu filho, serás chamado profeta do Altíssimo,
porque prepararás o caminho para o Senhor.
77 Dirás ao seu povo como achar a salvação,
através do perdão dos pecados.
78 Tudo isto porque a misericórdia do nosso Deus é muito grande,
e porque o sol divino está prestes a brilhar sobre nós,
79 para dar luz aos que se encontram sentados na escuridão,
na noite da morte,
e guiar-nos pelo caminho da paz.”
80 O menino ia crescendo e o seu espírito fortalecia-se. Mais tarde viveu no deserto, até começar o seu trabalho público em 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.

Dedication to Theophilus
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that (A)have been accomplished among us, 2 (B)just as those who (C)from the beginning were (D)eyewitnesses and (E)ministers of (F)the word (G)have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write (H)an orderly account for you, (I)most excellent (J)Theophilus, 4 that you may have (K)certainty concerning the things (L)you have been taught.
Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 (M)In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah,[a] (N)of (O)the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both (P)righteous before God, walking (Q)blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because (R)Elizabeth was barren, and (S)both were advanced in years.
8 Now (T)while he was serving as priest before God when (U)his division was on duty, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot (V)to enter (W)the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people (X)were praying (Y)outside at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of (Z)the altar of incense. 12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and (AA)fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for (AB)your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and (AC)you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will (AD)rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be (AE)great before the Lord. And (AF)he must not drink wine or strong (AG)drink, and (AH)he will be (AI)filled with the Holy Spirit, (AJ)even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and (AK)he will go before him (AL)in the spirit and power of Elijah, (AM)to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and (AN)the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, (AO)to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”
18 And Zechariah said to the angel, (AP)“How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am (AQ)Gabriel. (AR)I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 And behold, (AS)you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in (AT)the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in (AU)the temple. And (AV)he kept making signs to them and remained mute. 23 And (AW)when his time of (AX)service was ended, he went to his home.
24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, (AY)to take away my reproach among people.”
Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month the angel (AZ)Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named (BA)Nazareth, 27 (BB)to a virgin betrothed[b] to a man whose name was Joseph, (BC)of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, (BD)O favored one, (BE)the Lord is with you!”[c] 29 But (BF)she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for (BG)you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, (BH)you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and (BI)you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of (BJ)the Most High. And the Lord God (BK)will give to him the throne of (BL)his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob (BM)forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”[d]
35 And the angel answered her, (BN)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of (BO)the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[e] will be called (BP)holy—(BQ)the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her (BR)who was called barren. 37 For (BS)nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[f] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And (BT)the angel departed from her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into (BU)the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth (BV)was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, (BW)“Blessed are you among women, and (BX)blessed is (BY)the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of (BZ)my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And (CA)blessed is she who believed that there would be[g] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat
46 And Mary said,
(CB)“My (CC)soul (CD)magnifies the Lord,
47 (CE)and my (CF)spirit rejoices in (CG)God my Savior,
48 for (CH)he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations (CI)will call me blessed;
49 for (CJ)he who is mighty (CK)has done great things for me,
and (CL)holy is his name.
50 And (CM)his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 (CN)He has shown strength with his arm;
(CO)he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 (CP)he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
(CQ)and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled (CR)the hungry with good things,
and the rich (CS)he has sent away empty.
54 He has (CT)helped (CU)his servant Israel,
(CV)in remembrance of his mercy,
55 (CW)as he spoke to our fathers,
(CX)to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.
The Birth of John the Baptist
57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord (CY)had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 And (CZ)on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, 60 but his mother answered, “No; (DA)he shall be called John.” 61 And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.” 62 And (DB)they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. 63 And he asked for (DC)a writing tablet and wrote, (DD)“His name is John.” And they all wondered. 64 (DE)And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue (DF)loosed, and he spoke, (DG)blessing God. 65 And (DH)fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all (DI)the hill country of Judea, 66 and all who heard them (DJ)laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For (DK)the hand of the Lord was with him.
Zechariah's Prophecy
67 And his father Zechariah (DL)was filled with the Holy Spirit and (DM)prophesied, saying,
68 (DN)“Blessed be the Lord (DO)God of Israel,
for he has (DP)visited and (DQ)redeemed his people
69 and (DR)has raised up (DS)a horn of salvation for us
(DT)in the house of his servant David,
70 (DU)as (DV)he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 (DW)that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 (DX)to show the mercy promised to our fathers
and (DY)to remember his holy (DZ)covenant,
73 (EA)the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him (EB)without fear,
75 (EC)in holiness and righteousness before him (ED)all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called (EE)the prophet of (EF)the Most High;
for (EG)you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
(EH)in the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the (EI)tender mercy of our God,
whereby (EJ)the sunrise shall (EK)visit us[h] (EL)from on high
79 to (EM)give light to (EN)those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into (EO)the way of (EP)peace.”
80 (EQ)And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was (ER)in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
