Luke 1

English Standard Version ESV

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us,

2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,

3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,

4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.

7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,

15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,

17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared. ”

18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years. ”

19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time. ”

21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple.

22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute.

23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying,

25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people. ”

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you! ”

29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.

30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,

33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. ”

34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin? ”

35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy— the Son of God.

36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

37 For nothing will be impossible with God. ”

38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. ” And the angel departed from her.

39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah,

40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord. ”

46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;

49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

50 And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;

53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,

55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever. ”

56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.

57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.

58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father,

60 but his mother answered, “No; he shall be called John. ”

61 And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name. ”

62 And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called.

63 And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John. ” And they all wondered.

64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.

65 And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea,

66 and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be? ” For the hand of the Lord was with him.

67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people

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

70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,

71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;

72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,

73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us

74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,

75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,

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

78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high

79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. ”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 quoniam quidem multi conati sunt ordinare narrationem quae in nobis conpletae sunt rerum

2 sicut tradiderunt nobis qui ab initio ipsi viderunt et ministri fuerunt sermonis

3 visum est et mihi adsecuto a principio omnibus diligenter ex ordine tibi scribere optime Theophile

4 ut cognoscas eorum verborum de quibus eruditus es veritatem

5 fuit in diebus Herodis regis Iudaeae sacerdos quidam nomine Zaccharias de vice Abia et uxor illi de filiabus Aaron et nomen eius Elisabeth

6 erant autem iusti ambo ante Deum incedentes in omnibus mandatis et iustificationibus Domini sine querella

7 et non erat illis filius eo quod esset Elisabeth sterilis et ambo processissent in diebus suis

8 factum est autem cum sacerdotio fungeretur in ordine vicis suae ante Deum

9 secundum consuetudinem sacerdotii sorte exiit ut incensum poneret ingressus in templum Domini

10 et omnis multitudo erat populi orans foris hora incensi

11 apparuit autem illi angelus Domini stans a dextris altaris incensi

12 et Zaccharias turbatus est videns et timor inruit super eum

13 ait autem ad illum angelus ne timeas Zaccharia quoniam exaudita est deprecatio tua et uxor tua Elisabeth pariet tibi filium et vocabis nomen eius Iohannem

14 et erit gaudium tibi et exultatio et multi in nativitate eius gaudebunt

15 erit enim magnus coram Domino et vinum et sicera non bibet et Spiritu Sancto replebitur adhuc ex utero matris suae

16 et multos filiorum Israhel convertet ad Dominum Deum ipsorum

17 et ipse praecedet ante illum in spiritu et virtute Heliae ut convertat corda patrum in filios et incredibiles ad prudentiam iustorum parare Domino plebem perfectam

18 et dixit Zaccharias ad angelum unde hoc sciam ego enim sum senex et uxor mea processit in diebus suis

19 et respondens angelus dixit ei ego sum Gabrihel qui adsto ante Deum et missus sum loqui ad te et haec tibi evangelizare

20 et ecce eris tacens et non poteris loqui usque in diem quo haec fiant pro eo quod non credidisti verbis meis quae implebuntur in tempore suo

21 et erat plebs expectans Zacchariam et mirabantur quod tardaret ipse in templo

22 egressus autem non poterat loqui ad illos et cognoverunt quod visionem vidisset in templo et ipse erat innuens illis et permansit mutus

23 et factum est ut impleti sunt dies officii eius abiit in domum suam

24 post hos autem dies concepit Elisabeth uxor eius et occultabat se mensibus quinque dicens

25 quia sic mihi fecit Dominus in diebus quibus respexit auferre obprobrium meum inter homines

26 in mense autem sexto missus est angelus Gabrihel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae cui nomen Nazareth

27 ad virginem desponsatam viro cui nomen erat Ioseph de domo David et nomen virginis Maria

28 et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus

29 quae cum vidisset turbata est in sermone eius et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio

30 et ait angelus ei ne timeas Maria invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum

31 ecce concipies in utero et paries filium et vocabis nomen eius Iesum

32 hic erit magnus et Filius Altissimi vocabitur et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris eius

33 et regnabit in domo Iacob in aeternum et regni eius non erit finis

34 dixit autem Maria ad angelum quomodo fiet istud quoniam virum non cognosco

35 et respondens angelus dixit ei Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi ideoque et quod nascetur sanctum vocabitur Filius Dei

36 et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua et ipsa concepit filium in senecta sua et hic mensis est sextus illi quae vocatur sterilis

37 quia non erit inpossibile apud Deum omne verbum

38 dixit autem Maria ecce ancilla Domini fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum et discessit ab illa angelus

39 exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis abiit in montana cum festinatione in civitatem Iuda

40 et intravit in domum Zacchariae et salutavit Elisabeth

41 et factum est ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth exultavit infans in utero eius et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth

42 et exclamavit voce magna et dixit benedicta tu inter mulieres et benedictus fructus ventris tui

43 et unde hoc mihi ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me

44 ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis exultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo

45 et beata quae credidit quoniam perficientur ea quae dicta sunt ei a Domino

46 et ait Maria magnificat anima mea Dominum

47 et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo

48 quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes

49 quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est et sanctum nomen eius

50 et misericordia eius in progenies et progenies timentibus eum

51 fecit potentiam in brachio suo dispersit superbos mente cordis sui

52 deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles

53 esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes

54 suscepit Israhel puerum suum memorari misericordiae

55 sicut locutus est ad patres nostros Abraham et semini eius in saecula

56 mansit autem Maria cum illa quasi mensibus tribus et reversa est in domum suam

57 Elisabeth autem impletum est tempus pariendi et peperit filium

58 et audierunt vicini et cognati eius quia magnificavit Dominus misericordiam suam cum illa et congratulabantur ei

59 et factum est in die octavo venerunt circumcidere puerum et vocabant eum nomine patris eius Zacchariam

60 et respondens mater eius dixit nequaquam sed vocabitur Iohannes

61 et dixerunt ad illam quia nemo est in cognatione tua qui vocetur hoc nomine

62 innuebant autem patri eius quem vellet vocari eum

63 et postulans pugillarem scripsit dicens Iohannes est nomen eius et mirati sunt universi

64 apertum est autem ilico os eius et lingua eius et loquebatur benedicens Deum

65 et factus est timor super omnes vicinos eorum et super omnia montana Iudaeae divulgabantur omnia verba haec

66 et posuerunt omnes qui audierant in corde suo dicentes quid putas puer iste erit etenim manus Domini erat cum illo

67 et Zaccharias pater eius impletus est Spiritu Sancto et prophetavit dicens

68 benedictus Deus Israhel quia visitavit et fecit redemptionem plebi suae

69 et erexit cornu salutis nobis in domo David pueri sui

70 sicut locutus est per os sanctorum qui a saeculo sunt prophetarum eius

71 salutem ex inimicis nostris et de manu omnium qui oderunt nos

72 ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris et memorari testamenti sui sancti

73 iusiurandum quod iuravit ad Abraham patrem nostrum

74 daturum se nobis ut sine timore de manu inimicorum nostrorum liberati serviamus illi

75 in sanctitate et iustitia coram ipso omnibus diebus nostris

76 et tu puer propheta Altissimi vocaberis praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius

77 ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius in remissionem peccatorum eorum

78 per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri in quibus visitavit nos oriens ex alto

79 inluminare his qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis

80 puer autem crescebat et confortabatur spiritu et erat in deserto usque in diem ostensionis suae ad Israhel
