Luke 1:1-7

Wycliffe WYC

1 Forsooth for many men endeavoured to ordain the telling of things, which be filled in us,

2 as they that saw at the beginning, and were ministers of the word, betaken,

3 it is seen also to me, having from the beginning all things diligently by order, to write to thee, thou best Theophilus,

4 that thou know the truth of those words, of which thou art learned.] *

5 In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a priest [there was some priest], Zacharias by name, of the sort of Abia, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

6 And [they] both were just before God, going in all the commandments and justifyings of the Lord, without plaint.

7 And they had no child, for [that] Elisabeth was barren, and both were of great age in their days [and both had gone far in their days].

New International Version NIV

1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; 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.

7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
