Luke 1:57-80

Young's Literal Translation YLT

57 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,

58 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.

59 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,

60 and his mother answering said, `No, but he shall be called John.'

61 And they said unto her -- `There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,'

62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,

63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, `John is his name;' and they did all wonder;

64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.

65 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,

66 and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, `What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him.

67 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,

68 `Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people,

69 And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,

70 As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age;

71 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,

72 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,

73 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father,

74 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered,

75 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

76 And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.

77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

79 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'

80 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

New International Version NIV

57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.

58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,

60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”

61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”

62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.

63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”

64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things.

66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.

69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David

70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),

71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—

72 to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant,

73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:

74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear

75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,

77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit ; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
