The Dedication to Theophilus
1 Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled[a] among us,(A) 2 just as the original eye-witnesses(B) and servants of the word(C) handed them down to us. 3 So it also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honourable(D) Theophilus,(E) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.[b](F)
Gabriel Predicts John’s Birth
5 In the days of King Herod(G) of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah’s division(H) named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 Both were righteous in God’s sight,(I) living blamelessly(J) according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord. 7 But they had no children because Elizabeth could not conceive, and both of them were well on in years.(K)
8 When his division was on duty(L) and he was serving as priest before God, 9 it happened that he was chosen by lot,(M) according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense.(N) 10 At the hour of incense the whole assembly of the people was praying outside. 11 An angel of the Lord(O) appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.(P) 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and overcome with fear.(Q) 13 But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid,(R) Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard.(S) Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.(T) 14 There will be joy and delight for you, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or beer.(U) He will be filled with the Holy Spirit(V) while still in his mother’s womb.(W) 16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.(X) 17 And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children,(Y) and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.’(Z)
18 ‘How can I know this? ’ Zechariah asked the angel. ‘For I am an old man, and my wife is well on in years.’
19 The angel answered him, ‘I am Gabriel,(AA) who stands in the presence of God,(AB) and I was sent to speak to you and tell you this good news. 20 Now listen. You will become silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.’
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah, amazed that he stayed so long in the sanctuary. 22 When he did come out, he could not speak to them. Then they realised that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He was making signs to them(AC) and remained speechless. 23 When the days of his ministry were completed, he went back home.
24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months. She said, 25 ‘The Lord has done this for me. He has looked with favour in these days to take away my disgrace(AD) among the people.’
Gabriel Predicts Jesus’s Birth
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel(AE) was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,(AF) 27 to a virgin engaged[c](AG) to a man named Joseph, of the house of David.(AH) The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favoured woman! The Lord is with you.’[d] 29 But she was deeply troubled(AI) by this statement, wondering what kind of greeting this could be. 30 Then the angel told her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary,(AJ) for you have found favour with God.(AK) 31 Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.(AL) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High,(AM) and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.(AN) 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob(AO) for ever, and his kingdom will have no end.’(AP)
34 Mary asked the angel, ‘How can this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man? ’[e]
35 The angel replied to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you,(AQ) and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.(AR) 36 And consider your relative Elizabeth – even she has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called childless. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.’(AS)
38 ‘See, I am the Lord’s servant,’ said Mary. ‘May it happen to me as you have said.’ Then the angel left her.
Mary’s Visit to Elizabeth
39 In those days Mary set out and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah 40 where she entered Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped inside her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.(AT) 42 Then she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and your child will be blessed![f] 43 How could this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For you see, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfil what he has spoken to her! ’
Mary’s Praise
46 And Mary said:
My soul magnifies the Lord,(AU)
47 and my spirit rejoices(AV) in God my Saviour,(AW)
48 because he has looked with favour
on the humble condition of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations
will call me blessed,(AX)
49 because the Mighty One(AY)
has done great things for me,(AZ)
and his name(BA) is holy.
50 His mercy is from generation to generation(BB)
on those who fear him.
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm;(BC)
he has scattered the proud
because of the thoughts of their hearts;(BD)
52 he has toppled the mighty from their thrones
and exalted the lowly.(BE)
53 He has satisfied the hungry with good things(BF)
and sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering his mercy
55 to Abraham and his descendants[g] for ever,(BG)
just as he spoke to our ancestors.
56 And Mary stayed with her for about three months; then she returned to her home.
The Birth and Naming of John
57 Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she had a son. 58 Then her neighbours and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her his great mercy,(BH) and they rejoiced with her.
59 When they came to circumcise the child on the eighth day,(BI) they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father. 60 But his mother responded, ‘No. He will be called John.’(BJ)
61 Then they said to her, ‘None of your relatives has that name.’ 62 So they motioned to his father(BK) to find out what he wanted him to be called. 63 He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, ‘His name is John.’ And they were all amazed. 64 Immediately his mouth was opened(BL) and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. 65 Fear came on all those who lived around them, and all these things were being talked about throughout the hill country of Judea. 66 All who heard about him(BM) took it to heart, saying, ‘What then will this child become? ’ For, indeed, the Lord’s hand was with him.
Zechariah’s Prophecy
67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(BN) and prophesied:(BO)
68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel,(BP)
because he has visited
and provided redemption for his people.(BQ)
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us(BR)
in the house of his servant David,(BS)
70 just as he spoke by the mouth
of his holy prophets in ancient times;(BT)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of those who hate us.
72 He has dealt mercifully with our ancestors(BU)
and remembered his holy covenant(BV) –
73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham,(BW)
to grant that we,
74 having been rescued
from the hand of our enemies,
would serve him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness
in his presence all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called
a prophet of the Most High,(BX)
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare his ways,(BY)
77 to give his people knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins.(BZ)
78 Because of our God’s merciful compassion,
the dawn from on high(CA) will visit us
79 to shine on those who live in darkness
and the shadow of death,(CB)
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 The child grew up and became strong in spirit,[h](CC) and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to 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.

Introducción
1 Muchas personas han intentado escribir un relato de los hechos que se han cumplido entre nosotros. 2 Se valieron de los informes que circulan entre nosotros dados por testigos oculares, los primeros discípulos.[a] 3 Después de investigar todo con esmero desde el principio, yo también decidí escribir un relato fiel para ti, muy honorable Teófilo, 4 para que puedas estar seguro de la veracidad de todo lo que te han enseñado.
Anuncio del nacimiento de Juan el Bautista
5 Cuando Herodes era rey en Judea, hubo un sacerdote judío llamado Zacarías. Era miembro del grupo sacerdotal de Abías; y su esposa, Elisabet, también pertenecía a la familia sacerdotal de Aarón. 6 Zacarías y Elisabet eran justos a los ojos de Dios y cuidadosos en obedecer todos los mandamientos y las ordenanzas del Señor. 7 No tenían hijos porque Elisabet no podía quedar embarazada y los dos eran ya muy ancianos.
8 Cierto día, Zacarías se encontraba sirviendo a Dios en el templo, porque su grupo de sacerdotes estaba de turno esa semana. 9 Como era costumbre entre los sacerdotes, le tocó por sorteo entrar en el santuario del Señor y quemar el incienso. 10 Mientras el incienso se quemaba, una gran multitud estaba afuera orando.
11 Y mientras Zacarías estaba en el santuario, se le apareció un ángel del Señor, de pie a la derecha del altar del incienso. 12 Cuando Zacarías lo vio, se alarmó y se llenó de temor, 13 pero el ángel le dijo:
—¡No tengas miedo, Zacarías! Dios ha oído tu oración. Tu esposa, Elisabet, te dará un hijo, y lo llamarás Juan. 14 Tendrás gran gozo y alegría, y muchos se alegrarán de su nacimiento, 15 porque él será grande a los ojos del Señor. No deberá beber vino ni ninguna bebida alcohólica y será lleno del Espíritu Santo aun antes de nacer.[b] 16 Y hará que muchos israelitas vuelvan al Señor su Dios. 17 Será un hombre con el espíritu y el poder de Elías; preparará a la gente para la venida del Señor. Inclinará el corazón de los padres[c] hacia los hijos[d] y hará que los rebeldes acepten la sabiduría de los justos.
18 Zacarías le dijo al ángel:
—¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de que ocurrirá esto? Ya soy muy anciano, y mi esposa también es de edad avanzada.
19 Entonces el ángel dijo:
—¡Yo soy Gabriel! Estoy en la presencia misma de Dios. ¡Fue él quien me envió a darte esta buena noticia! 20 Pero ahora, como no creíste lo que te dije, te quedarás mudo, sin poder hablar hasta que nazca el niño. Te aseguro que mis palabras se cumplirán a su debido tiempo.
21 Mientras tanto, la gente esperaba a que Zacarías saliera del santuario y se preguntaba por qué tardaba tanto. 22 Cuando por fin salió, no podía hablarles. Entonces, por las señas que hacía y su silencio, se dieron cuenta de que seguramente había tenido una visión en el santuario.
23 Cuando Zacarías terminó su semana de servicio en el templo, regresó a su casa. 24 Poco tiempo después, su esposa, Elisabet, quedó embarazada y permaneció recluida en su casa durante cinco meses. 25 «¡Qué bondadoso es el Señor!—exclamó ella—. Me ha quitado la vergüenza de no tener hijos».
Anuncio del nacimiento de Jesús
26 Cuando Elisabet estaba en su sexto mes de embarazo, Dios envió al ángel Gabriel a Nazaret, una aldea de Galilea, 27 a una virgen llamada María. Ella estaba comprometida para casarse con un hombre llamado José, descendiente del rey David. 28 Gabriel se le apareció y dijo: «¡Saludos,[e] mujer favorecida! ¡El Señor está contigo![f]».
29 Confusa y perturbada, María trató de pensar lo que el ángel quería decir.
30 —No tengas miedo, María—le dijo el ángel—, ¡porque has hallado el favor de Dios! 31 Concebirás y darás a luz un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. 32 Él será muy grande y lo llamarán Hijo del Altísimo. El Señor Dios le dará el trono de su antepasado David. 33 Y reinará sobre Israel[g] para siempre; ¡su reino no tendrá fin!
34 —¿Pero cómo podrá suceder esto?—le preguntó María al ángel—. Soy virgen.
35 El ángel le contestó:
—El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti, y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá con su sombra. Por lo tanto, el bebé que nacerá será santo y será llamado Hijo de Dios. 36 Además, tu parienta Elisabet, ¡quedó embarazada en su vejez! Antes la gente decía que ella era estéril, pero ha concebido un hijo y ya está en su sexto mes de embarazo. 37 Pues la palabra de Dios nunca dejará de cumplirse.[h]
38 María respondió:
—Soy la sierva del Señor. Que se cumpla todo lo que has dicho acerca de mí.
Y el ángel la dejó.
María visita a Elisabet
39 Pocos días después, María fue de prisa a la zona montañosa de Judea, al pueblo 40 donde vivía Zacarías. Entró en la casa y saludó a Elisabet. 41 Al escuchar el saludo de María, el bebé de Elisabet saltó en su vientre y Elisabet se llenó del Espíritu Santo.
42 Elisabet dio un grito de alegría y le exclamó a María:
—Dios te ha bendecido más que a todas las mujeres, y tu hijo es bendito. 43 ¿Por qué tengo este honor, que la madre de mi Señor venga a visitarme? 44 Cuando escuché tu saludo, el bebé saltó de alegría en mi vientre. 45 Eres bendita porque creíste que el Señor haría lo que te dijo.
El Magníficat: canción de alabanza de María
46 María respondió:
—Oh, cuánto alaba mi alma al Señor.
47 ¡Cuánto mi espíritu se alegra en Dios mi Salvador!
48 Pues se fijó en su humilde sierva,
y de ahora en adelante todas las generaciones me llamarán bendita.
49 Pues el Poderoso es santo
y ha hecho grandes cosas por mí.
50 Él muestra misericordia de generación en generación
a todos los que le temen.
51 ¡Su brazo poderoso ha hecho cosas tremendas!
Dispersó a los orgullosos y a los altaneros.
52 A príncipes derrocó de sus tronos
y exaltó a los humildes.
53 Al hambriento llenó de cosas buenas
y a los ricos despidió con las manos vacías.
54 Ayudó a su siervo Israel
y no se olvidó de ser misericordioso.
55 Pues lo prometió a nuestros antepasados,
a Abraham y a sus descendientes para siempre.
56 Y María se quedó con Elisabet unos tres meses y luego regresó a su casa.
Nacimiento de Juan el Bautista
57 Cuando se cumplió el tiempo para que naciera el bebé, Elisabet dio a luz un hijo varón. 58 Todos sus vecinos y parientes se alegraron al enterarse de que el Señor había sido tan misericordioso con ella.
59 Cuando el bebé cumplió ocho días, todos se reunieron para la ceremonia de circuncisión. Querían ponerle por nombre Zacarías como su padre, 60 pero Elisabet dijo:
—¡No! ¡Su nombre es Juan!
61 —¿Cómo?—exclamaron—. No hay nadie en tu familia con ese nombre.
62 Entonces, le preguntaron por gestos al padre cómo quería que se llamara. 63 Zacarías pidió con señas que le dieran una tablilla para escribir y, para sorpresa de todos, escribió: «Su nombre es Juan». 64 Al instante Zacarías pudo hablar de nuevo y comenzó a alabar a Dios.
65 Todo el vecindario se llenó de temor reverente, y la noticia de lo que había sucedido corrió por todas las colinas de Judea. 66 Los que la oían meditaban sobre los acontecimientos y se preguntaban: «¿Qué llegará a ser este niño?». Pues la mano del Señor estaba sobre él de una manera especial.
Profecía de Zacarías
67 Entonces su padre, Zacarías, se llenó del Espíritu Santo y dio la siguiente profecía:
68 «Alaben al Señor, el Dios de Israel,
porque ha visitado y redimido a su pueblo.
69 Nos envió un poderoso Salvador[i]
del linaje real de su siervo David,
70 como lo prometió
mediante sus santos profetas hace mucho tiempo.
71 Ahora seremos rescatados de nuestros enemigos
y de todos los que nos odian.
72 Él ha sido misericordioso con nuestros antepasados
al recordar su pacto sagrado,
73 el pacto que prometió mediante un juramento
a nuestro antepasado Abraham.
74 Hemos sido rescatados de nuestros enemigos
para poder servir a Dios sin temor,
75 en santidad y justicia,
mientras vivamos.
76 »Y tú, mi pequeño hijo,
serás llamado profeta del Altísimo,
porque prepararás el camino para el Señor.
77 Dirás a su pueblo cómo encontrar la salvación
mediante el perdón de sus pecados.
78 Gracias a la tierna misericordia de Dios,
la luz matinal del cielo está a punto de brillar entre nosotros,[j]
79 para dar luz a los que están en oscuridad y en sombra de muerte,
y para guiarnos al camino de la paz».
80 Juan creció y se fortaleció en espíritu. Y vivió en el desierto hasta que comenzó su ministerio público a Israel.
