Luke 1:39-80

39NowG1161 1at thisG3778 timeG2250 MaryG3137 aroseG450 and wentG4198 in a hurryG4710 to 2the hillG3714 countryG3714, to a cityG4172 of JudahG2455, 40and enteredG1525 the houseG3624 of ZachariasG2197 and greetedG782 ElizabethG1665. 41WhenG5613 ElizabethG1665 heardG191 Mary’sG3137 greetingG783, the babyG1025 leapedG4640 in her wombG2836; and ElizabethG1665 was 3filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 42And she criedG400 out with a loudG3173 voiceG2906 and saidG3004, “BlessedG2127 are you amongG1722 womenG1135, and blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of your wombG2836! 43And 4howG4159 has it happened to me, that the motherG3384 of 5my LordG2962 would comeG2064 to me? 44For beholdG2400, whenG5613 the soundG5456 of your greetingG783 reachedG1096 my earsG3775, the babyG1025 leapedG4640 in my wombG2836 for joyG20. 45And 6blessedG3107 is she who 7believedG4100 that there would be a fulfillmentG5050 of what had been spokenG2980 to her 8by the LordG2962.”

46And MaryG3137 saidG3004: “9My soulG5590 1011exaltsG3170 the LordG2962,47And 12my spiritG4151 has rejoicedG21 in 13GodG2316 my SaviorG4990.48For 14He has hadG1914 regardG1914 for the humbleG5014 stateG5014 of His 15bondslaveG1401; For beholdG2400, from thisG3568 timeG3568 on allG3956 generationsG1074 will countG3106 me 16blessedG3106.49For the MightyG1415 OneG1415 has doneG4160 greatG3173 thingsG3173 for me; And holyG40 is His nameG3686.5017And His mercyG1656 is 18upon generationG1074 afterG2532 generationG1074 Toward thoseG3588 who fearG5399 Him.5119He has doneG4160 20mightyG2904 deedsG2904 with His armG1023; He has scatteredG1287 those who were proudG5244 in the 21thoughtsG1271 of their heartG2588.52He has broughtG2507 downG2507 rulersG1413 from their thronesG2362, And has 22exaltedG5312 those who were humbleG5011.5323He has filledG1705 the hungryG3983 with goodG18 thingsG18; And sentG1821 awayG1821 the richG4147 empty-handedG2756.54He has givenG482 helpG482 to IsraelG2474 His servantG3816, 24In remembranceG3403 of His mercyG1656,5525As He spokeG2980 to our fathersG3962, 26To AbrahamG11 and his 27descendantsG4690 foreverG165.”

56And MaryG3137 stayedG3306 with her aboutG5613 threeG5140 monthsG3376, and then returnedG5290 to her homeG3624.

57NowG1161 the timeG5550 28had comeG4092 for ElizabethG1665 to giveG5088 birthG5088, and she gaveG1080 birthG5088 to a sonG5207. 58Her neighborsG4040 and her relativesG4773 heardG191 that the LordG2962 had 2930displayedG3170 His greatG3170 mercyG1656 towardG3326 her; and they were rejoicingG4796 with her.

59And it happenedG1096 that on 31the eighthG3590 dayG2250 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813, and they were going to callG2564 him ZachariasG2197, 32afterG1909 his fatherG3962. 60But his motherG3384 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “NoG3780 indeedG3780; but 33he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.” 61And they saidG3004 to her, “There is noG3762 oneG3762 amongG1537 your relativesG4772 whoG3739 is calledG2564 by that nameG3686.” 62And they 34madeG1770 signsG1770 to his fatherG3962, as to whatG5101G302 he wantedG2309 him calledG2564. 63And he askedG154 for a tabletG4093 and wroteG1125 as followsG3004, “35His nameG3686 is JohnG2491.” And they were allG3956 astonishedG2296. 6436And at onceG3916 his mouthG4750 was openedG455 and his tongueG1100 loosed, and he began to speakG2980 in praiseG2127 of GodG2316. 65FearG5401 cameG1096 on allG3956 thoseG3588 livingG4039 aroundG4039 them; and allG3956 theseG3778 mattersG4487 were being talkedG1255 aboutG1255 in allG3650 37the hillG3714 countryG3714 of JudeaG2453. 66AllG3956 who heardG191 them keptG5087 them in mindG2588, sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 thenG686 will thisG3778 childG3813 turn out to be?” For 38the handG5495 of the LordG2962 was certainlyG2532 with him.

67And his fatherG3962 ZachariasG2197 39was filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and 40prophesiedG4395, sayingG3004:68“41BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474, For He has visitedG1980 us and accomplishedG4160 42redemptionG3085 for His peopleG2992,69And has raisedG1453 up a 43hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for us In the houseG3624 of DavidG1160 44His servantG3816--7045As He spokeG2980 by the mouthG4750 of His holyG40 prophetsG4396 46from of oldG165--714748SalvationG4991 49from our enemiesG2190, And from the handG5495 of allG3956 who hateG3404 us;7250To showG4160 mercyG1656 towardG3326 our fathersG3962, 51And to rememberG3403 His holyG40 covenantG1242,7352The oathG3727 whichG3739 He sworeG3660 to AbrahamG11 our fatherG3962,74To grantG1325 us that we, being rescuedG4506 from the handG5495 of our enemiesG2190, Might serveG3000 Him withoutG870 fearG870,7553In holinessG3742 and righteousnessG1343 beforeG1799 Him allG3956 our daysG2250.76And you, childG3813, will be calledG2564 the 54prophetG4396 of 55the MostG5310 HighG5310; For you will goG4313 on 56beforeG1799 the LordG2962 to 57prepareG2090 His waysG3598;77To giveG1325 to His peopleG2992 the knowledgeG1108 of salvationG4991 58By 59the forgivenessG859 of their sinsG266,78BecauseG1223 of the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of our GodG2316, With whichG3739 60the SunriseG395 from on highG5311 will visitG1980 us,7961To shineG2014 upon thoseG3588 who sitG2521 in darknessG4655 and the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, To guideG2720 our feetG4228 into the 62wayG3598 of peaceG1515.”

8063And the childG3813 continued to growG837 and to becomeG2901 strongG2901 in spiritG4151, and he livedG1510 in the desertsG2048 untilG2193 the dayG2250 of his publicG323 appearanceG323 to IsraelG2474.
