Luke 1:6-20
6AndG1161 they wereG1510 bothG297 righteousG1342 beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316, walkingG4198 inG1722 allG3956 the commandmentsG3588G1785 andG2532 ordinancesG1345 of the LordG3588G2962 blamelessG273.
7AndG2532 theyG846 hadG1510 noG3756 childG5043, because thatG2530 ElisabethG1665 wasG1510 barrenG4723, andG2532 theyG846 bothG297 wereG1510 now well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG3588G2250.
8AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that whileG1722 heG846 executed the priest’s officeG2407 beforeG1725 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 the orderG3588G5010 of hisG846 courseG3588G2183,
9According toG2596 the customG3588G1485 of the priest’s officeG3588G2405, his lot wasG2975 to burn incenseG2370 when he wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3588G3485 of the LordG3588G2962.
10AndG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG3588G4128 of the peopleG3588G2992 wereG1510 prayingG4336 withoutG1854 at the timeG3588G5610 of incenseG3588G2368.
11AndG1161 there appearedG3708 unto himG846 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 standingG2476 onG1537 the right sideG1188 of the altarG3588G2379 of incenseG3588G2368.
12AndG2532 whenG3708 ZachariasG2197 sawG3708 him, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1909 himG846.
13ButG1161 the angelG3588G32 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4771 prayerG3588G1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4771 wifeG3588G1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4771 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3588G3686 JohnG2491.
14AndG2532 thouG4771 shalt haveG1510 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG3588G1083.
15ForG1063 he shall beG1510 greatG3173 in the sight ofG1799 the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3756 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 withG4151 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother’sG3384 wombG2836.
16AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG3588G2316.
17AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of ElijahG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962.
18AndG2532 ZachariasG2197 saidG3004 untoG4314 the angelG3588G32, WherebyG2596 shall I knowG1097 thisG3778? forG1063 IG1473 amG1510 an old manG4246, andG2532 myG1473 wifeG3588G1135 well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG3588G2250.
19AndG2532 the angelG3588G32 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 GabrielG1043, thatG3588 standG3936 in the presenceG1799 of GodG3588G2316; andG2532 am sentG649 to speakG2980 untoG4314 theeG4771, andG2532 to shewG2097 theeG4771 theseG3778 glad tidingsG2097.
20AndG2532, beholdG3708, thou shalt beG1510 dumbG4623, andG2532 notG3361 ableG1410 to speakG2980, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 these thingsG3778 shall be performedG1096, becauseG473 thou believestG4100 notG3756 myG1473 wordsG3588G3056, whichG3748 shall be fulfilledG4137 inG1519 theirG846 seasonG3588G2540.
