Luke 1:46-68

My soulG5590 doth magnify the LordG2962,47And my spiritG4151 hath rejoicedG21 in GodG2316 my Saviour.48For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid:For beholdG2400, from henceforth all generationsG1074 shall call me blessed.49For he that is mightyG1415 hath done to me greatG3173 things;And holyG40 is his nameG3686.50And his mercyG1656 is unto generationsG1074 and generationsG1074On them that fearG5399 him.51He hath showed strengthG2904 with his armG1023;He hath scatteredG1287 the proud in the imagination of their heartG2588.52He hath put down princes from their thronesG2362,And hath exaltedG5312 them of low degree.53The hungryG3983 he hath filled with goodG18 thingsG18;And the richG4147 he hath sent emptyG2756 awayG1821.54He hath given helpG482 to IsraelG2474 his servantG3816,That he might rememberG3403 mercyG165655(As he spake unto our fathersG3962)Toward AbrahamG11 and his seedG4690 for ever.

56And MaryG3137 abode with her about threeG5140 monthsG3376, and returnedG5290 unto her houseG3624.

57NowG1161 Elisabeth’s timeG5550 was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forthG5088 a sonG5207. 58And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heardG191 that the LordG2962 had magnifiedG3170 his mercyG1656 towards her; and they rejoiced with her. 59And it cameG2064 to passG1096 on the eighthG3590 dayG2250, that they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813; and they would have calledG2564 him Zacharias, after the nameG3686 of his fatherG3962. 60And his motherG3384 answeredG611 and saidG3004, Not so; but he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491. 61And they saidG3004 unto her, There isG1510 noneG3762 of thy kindred that isG1510 calledG2564 by this nameG3686. 62And they made signs to his fatherG3962, what he would have him calledG2564. 63And he askedG154 for a writingG1125 tablet, and wroteG1125, sayingG3004, His nameG3686 isG1510 JohnG2491. And they marvelled all. 64And his mouthG4750 was openedG455 immediatelyG3916, and his tongueG1100 loosed, and he spake, blessingG2127 GodG2316. 65And fearG5401 cameG1096 on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hillG3714 countryG3714 of Judæa. 66And all that heardG191 them laidG5087 them up in their heartG2588, sayingG3004, What then shall this childG3813 beG1510? For the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG1510 with him.

67And his fatherG3962 Zacharias was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and prophesiedG4395, sayingG3004,

68Blessedbethe LordG2962, the GodG2316 of IsraelG2474;For he hath visited and wrought redemptionG3085 for his peopleG2992,
