Luke 1
1 For as moche as many have take in hand to compyle a treates of thoo thinges which are surely knowen amonge vs
Inasmuch as many undertook to draw up a narration concerning the accomplished among us things,
2 even as they declared them vnto vs which from the beginnynge sawe them their selves and were ministers at the doyng:
even as delivered [them] to us those from [the] beginning eyewitnesses and servants having been of the word,
3 I determined also assone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the beginnynge that then I wolde wryte vnto the good Theophilus:
it seemed good also to me also to me having been acquainted from the first with all things carefully with method to you to write, most excellent Theophilus,
4 that thou myghtest knowe the certente of thoo thinges wher of thou arte informed.
so that you may know concerning which you were instructed [of the] things the certainty.
5 There was in the dayes of Herode kynge of Iurie a certayne prest named Zacharias of ye course of Abia. And his wyfe was of ye doughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth.
There was in the days of Herod (*k*) king of Judea a priest certain named Zechariah of [the] division of Abijah, and (the *k*) wife (of him *N(k)O*) of the daughters of Aaron and the name of her Elizabeth.
6 Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.
They were now righteous both (in front of *N(k)O*) God walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age.
And no there was to them child, inasmuch as was Elizabeth barren and both having advanced in the years of them were.
8 And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came
It came to pass now in the priestly serving of him in the order of the division of him before God,
9 (accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece.
according to the custom of the priesthood the lot picked [him as] the [one] to burn incense entering into the temple of the Lord;
10 And wet into ye teple of ye Lorde and the whoale multitude of ye people were with out in prayer whill the incense was aburnynge.
And all the multitude were of the people praying outside at the hour of the incense.
11 And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.
Appeared then to him an angel of [the] Lord already standing at [the] right of the altar of the incense;
12 And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him.
And was troubled Zechariah having seen [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 And the angell sayde vnto him: feare not Zachary for thy prayer is hearde: And thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare ye a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iohn
Said then to him the angel; Not do fear Zechariah; because has been heard the prayer of you, and the wife of You Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call the name of him John.
14 and thou shalt have ioye and gladnes and many shall reioyce at his birth.
And he will be joy to you and gladness, and many at the (birth *N(k)O*) of him will rejoice.
15 For he shalbe greate in the sight of the lorde and shall nether drinke wyne ner stronge drinke. And he shalbe filled with the holy goost even in his mothers wombe:
He will be for great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink certainly not shall he drink, and [of the] Spirit Holy he will be filled even from [the] womb of [the] mother of him.
16 and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God.
And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to [the] Lord the God of them,
17 And he shall goo before him in the sprete and power of Helyas to tourne the hertes of the fathers to the chyldren and the vnbelevers to the wysdom of the iuste men: to make the people redy for the Lorde.
And he himself will go forth 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] righteous, to make ready for [the] Lord a people prepared.
18 And Zacharias sayde vnto ye angell: Wher by shall I knowe this? seinge that I am olde and my wyfe well stricken in yeares.
And said Zechariah to the angel; By what will I know this? I myself for am an old man, and the wife of mine having advanced in the years of her.
19 And the angell answered and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens of God and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges.
And answering the angel said to him; I myself am Gabriel the [one] standing before God and I was sent to speak to you and to bring glad tidings to you these.
20 And beholde thou shalt be domme and not able to speake vntyll the tyme that these thinges be performed because thou belevedst not my wordes which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
And behold you will be silent and not able to speak until that day may happen these things, in return for that not you did believe in the words of mine which will be fulfilled in the season of them.
21 And the people wayted for Zacharias and mervelled that he taryed in the temple.
And were the people expecting Zechariah and they were wondering at the delaying in the temple of him.
22 And whe he cam oute he could not speake vnto them. Wherby they perceaved that he had sene some vision in the temple. And he beckened vnto them and remayned speachlesse.
Having come out then not he was able to speak to them; and they recognized that a vision he has seen in the temple. And he himself was making signs to them and was remaining mute.
23 And it fortuned assone as ye tyme of his office was oute he departed home into his awne housse.
And it came to pass when were fulfilled the days of the service of him, he departed to the home of him.
24 And after thoose dayes his wyfe Elizabeth coceaved and hyd her sylfe. v. monethes sayinge:
After then these days conceived Elizabeth the wife of him and was hiding herself months five saying
25 This wyse hath God dealte wt me in ye dayes when he loked on me to take from me the rebuke yt I suffred amonge men.
that Thus to me has done (the *k*) Lord in [the] days in which He looked upon [me] to take away (the *k*) disgrace of mine among men.
26 And in ye. vi. moneth ye angell Gabriel was sent fro god vnto a cite of Galile named Nazareth
In now the month sixth was sent the angel Gabriel (by *N(k)O*) God to a city of Galilee whose name [was] Nazareth
27 to a virgin spoused to a man whose name was Ioseph of ye housse of David and ye virgins name was Mary.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph of [the] house of David, and the name of the virgin [was] Mary.
28 And ye angell went in vnto her and sayde: Hayle full of grace ye Lorde is with ye: blessed arte thou amonge wemen.
And having come (*ko*) (angel *KO*) to her he said; Greetings! you graciously favored; The Lord [is] with you. (blessed [are] you yourself among women. *KO*)
29 When she sawe him she was abasshed at his sayinge: and cast in her mynde what maner of salutacion yt shuld be.
And (having seen [him] *K*) at the statement she was troubled (of him *k*) and was pondering what kind would be salutation this.
30 And ye angell sayde vnto her: feare not Mary: for thou hast founde grace wt god.
And said the angel to her; Not do fear Mary, you have found for favor with God.
31 Loo: thou shalt coceave in thy wombe and shalt beare a sonne and shalt call his name Iesus.
and behold you will conceive in womb and will bring forth a son and you will call the name of Him Jesus.
32 He shalbe greate and shalbe called the sonne of the hyest. And ye lorde God shall geve vnto him the seate of his father David
He will be great and Son of [the] Most High He will be called, and will give to Him [the] Lord God the throne of David of the father of Him,
33 and he shall raygne over ye housse of Iacob forever and of his kyngdome shalbe none ende. (aiōn g165)
and He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages, and of the kingdom of Him not there will be an end! (aiōn g165)
34 Then sayd Mary vnto ye angell: How shall this be seinge I knowe not a man?
Said then Mary to the angel; How will be this since a man not I know?
35 And ye angell answered and sayd vnto her: The holy goost shall come apon the and ye power of ye hyest shall over shaddowe ye. Therfore also yt holy thinge which shalbe borne shalbe called ye sonne of god.
And answering the angel said to her; [the] Spirit Holy will come upon you and power of [the] Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the [one] being born Holy [One] will be called [the] Son of God.
36 And beholde thy cosen Elizabeth she hath also conceaved a sonne in her age. And this is hyr sixte moneth though she be called barren:
And behold Elizabeth the (relative *N(k)O*) of you also she (has conceived *N(k)O*) a son in old age of her, and this month [the] sixth is to her who [was] called barren
37 for wt god can nothinge be vnpossible.
For not will be impossible with (God *N(k)O*) every declaration.
38 And Mary sayd: beholde ye honde mayden of ye lorde be it vnto me even as thou hast sayde. And the angell departed from her.
Said then Mary; Behold the handmaid of [the] Lord; Would [that] it happen to me according to the declaration of you. And departed from her the angel.
39 And Mary arose in thoose dayes and went into ye mountayns wt hast into a cite of Iurie
Having risen up then Mary in days these she went into the hill country with haste to a town of Judah
40 and entred into the housse of zachary and saluted Elizabeth.
and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 And it fortuned as Elizabeth hearde ye salutacion of Mary the babe spronge in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy goost
And it came to pass as heard the greeting of Mary Elizabeth, leaped the baby in the womb of her, and was filled with [the] Spirit Holy Elizabeth
42 and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde: Blessed arte thou amonge wemen and blessed is the frute of thy wombe.
and she cried out (in a shout *N(k)O*) loud and said; Blessed [are] you yourself among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of the womb of you.
43 And whence hapeneth this to me that the mother of my Lorde shuld come to me?
And from where to me this that may come the mother of the Lord of mine to me myself?
44 For loo assone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares the babe sprange in my belly for ioye.
Behold for as came the voice of the greeting of you into the ears of mine, leaped in exultation the baby in the womb of mine.
45 And blessed arte thou that belevedst: for thoose thinges shalbe performed wich were tolde ye from the lorde.
And blessed [is] the [one] having believed that there will be a fulfillment to the [things] spoken to her from [the] Lord.
46 And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde.
And said Mary: Magnifies the soul of Mine the Lord,
47 And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure
and rejoices the spirit of mine in God the Savior of mine,
48 For he hath loked on the povre degre of his honde mayde. Beholde now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed.
For He has looked upon the humiliation of the handmaiden of Him. Behold for from henceforth will count blessed me all the generations
49 For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges and holye is his name.
For has done to me (great [things] *N(k)O*) the Mighty One; And holy [is] the name of Him;
50 And his mercy is on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions.
And the mercy of Him [is] to generations (and *no*) (generations *N(k)O*) to those fearing Him;

53 He filleth the hongry with good thinges: and sendeth awaye the ryche emptye.
[Those] hungering He has filled with good things and [those] being rich He has sent away empty;
54 He remenbreth mercy: and helpeth his servaunt Israel.
He has helped Israel [the] servant of Him remembering mercy,
even as He spoke to the fathers of us, to Abraham and to the descendants of him to the age. (aiōn g165)
56 And mary aboode with hyr aboute a. iii. monethes and retourned agayne to hyr awne housse.
Dwelt then Mary with her (about *N(k)O*) months three and returned to the home of her.

And they said to her that No [one] is (among the relatives *N(k)O*) of you who is called the name by this.
