Luke 1:46-68

46And MaryG3137 saidG3004, My soulG5590 magnifies the LordG2962,

47and my spiritG4151 has rejoicedG21 in 1GodG2316 my Saviour.

48For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for beholdG2400, from henceforth all generationsG1074 shall call me blessed.

49For the MightyG1415 OneG3588 has done to me greatG3173 things, and holyG40 [is] his nameG3686;

50and his mercyG1656 [is] to generationsG1074 and generationsG1074 to them that fearG5399 him.

51He has wrought strengthG2904 with his armG1023; he has scatteredG1287 haughty [ones] in the thought of their heartG2588.

52He has put down rulers from thronesG2362, and exaltedG5312 the lowly.

53He has filled the hungryG3983 with goodG18 thingsG18, and sent awayG1821 the richG4147 emptyG2756.

54He has helped IsraelG2474 his servantG3816, in order to rememberG3403 mercyG1656,

55(as he spokeG2980 to our fathersG3962,) to AbrahamG11 and to his seedG4690 for ever.

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

57But the timeG5550 was fulfilled for ElizabethG1665 that she should bring forthG5088, and she gave birthG5088 to a sonG5207.

58And her neighbours and kinsfolk heardG191 that [the] LordG2962 had magnifiedG3170 his mercyG1656 with her, and they rejoiced with her.

59And it cameG2064 to passG1096 on the eighthG3590 dayG2250 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813, and they calledG2564 it after the nameG3686 of his fatherG3962, Zacharias.

60And his motherG3384 answeringG611 saidG3004, No; but he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.

61And they saidG3004 to her, There isG1510 no oneG3762 among thy kinsfolk who isG1510 calledG2564 by this nameG3686.

62And they made signs to his fatherG3962 as to what he might wishG2309 it to be calledG2564.

63And having askedG154 for a writing-table, he wroteG1125 sayingG3004, JohnG2491 isG1510 his nameG3686. And they all wonderedG2296.

64And his mouthG4750 was openedG455 immediatelyG3916, and his tongueG1100, and he spake, blessingG2127 2GodG2316.

65And fearG5401 cameG1096 upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the wholeG3650 hill-country of Judaea all these thingsG3778 were the subject of conversation.

66And all who heardG191 them laidG5087 them up in their heartG2588, sayingG3004, What then will this childG3813 beG1510? And [the] Lord's handG5495 wasG1510 with him.

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

68Blessed be [the] LordG2962 the 3GodG2316 of IsraelG2474, because he has visited and wrought redemptionG3085 for his peopleG2992,
