1:1Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded,
1:2As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word,
1:3It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point,
1:4That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed.
1:5In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.
1:6Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe.
1:7And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
1:8And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order,
1:9According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord.
1:10And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning.
1:11Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
1:12And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.
1:13But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.
1:14And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth.
1:15For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe.
1:16And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God.
1:17For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
1:18Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.
1:19And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings.
1:20And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
1:21Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.
1:22And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme.
1:23And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house.
1:24And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,
1:25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men.
1:26And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth,
1:27To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.
1:28And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
1:29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be.
1:30Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God.
1:31For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
1:32He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
1:33And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende.
1:34Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man?
1:35And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.
1:36And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.
1:37For with God shall nothing be vnpossible.
1:38Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
1:39And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
1:40And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
1:41And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
1:42And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
1:43And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
1:44For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
1:45And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
1:46Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
1:47And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
1:48For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
1:49Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
1:50And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
1:51Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
1:52Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
1:53Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
1:54Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
1:55(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer.
1:56And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
1:57Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
1:58And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
1:59And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
1:60But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
1:61And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
1:62Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
1:63So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
1:64And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
1:65Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
1:66And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
1:67Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
1:68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
1:69And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
1:70As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying,
1:71That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
1:72That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
1:73And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
1:74Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
1:75All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
1:76And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
1:77And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
1:78Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
1:79To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
1:80And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.

 

1:1For as moche as many have take in hand to compyle a treates of thoo thinges which are surely knowen amonge vs
1:2even as they declared them vnto vs which from the beginnynge sawe them their selves and were ministers at the doyng:
1:3I determined also assone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the beginnynge that then I wolde wryte vnto the good Theophilus:
1:4that thou myghtest knowe the certente of thoo thinges wher of thou arte informed.
1:5There 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.
1:6Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.
1:7And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age.
1:8And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came
1:9(accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece.
1:10And wet into ye teple of ye Lorde and the whoale multitude of ye people were with out in prayer whill the incense was aburnynge.
1:11And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.
1:12And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him.
1:13And 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
1:14and thou shalt have ioye and gladnes and many shall reioyce at his birth.
1:15For 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:
1:16and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God.
1:17And 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.
1:18And Zacharias sayde vnto ye angell: Wher by shall I knowe this? seinge that I am olde and my wyfe well stricken in yeares.
1:19And 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.
1:20And 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.
1:21And the people wayted for Zacharias and mervelled that he taryed in the temple.
1:22And 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.
1:23And it fortuned assone as ye tyme of his office was oute he departed home into his awne housse.
1:24And after thoose dayes his wyfe Elizabeth coceaved and hyd her sylfe .v. monethes sayinge:
1:25This 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.
1:26And in ye .vi. moneth ye angell Gabriel was sent fro god vnto a cite of Galile named Nazareth
1:27to a virgin spoused to a man whose name was Ioseph of ye housse of David and ye virgins name was Mary.
1:28And ye angell went in vnto her and sayde: Hayle full of grace ye Lorde is with ye: blessed arte thou amonge wemen.
1:29When she sawe him she was abasshed at his sayinge: and cast in her mynde what maner of salutacion yt shuld be.
1:30And ye angell sayde vnto her: feare not Mary: for thou hast founde grace wt god.
1:31Loo: thou shalt coceave in thy wombe and shalt beare a sonne and shalt call his name Iesus.
1:32He shalbe greate and shalbe called the sonne of the hyest. And ye lorde God shall geve vnto him the seate of his father David
1:33and he shall raygne over ye housse of Iacob forever and of his kyngdome shalbe none ende.
1:34Then sayd Mary vnto ye angell: How shall this be seinge I knowe not a man?
1:35And 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.
1:36And beholde thy cosen Elizabeth she hath also conceaved a sonne in her age. And this is hyr sixte moneth though she be called barren:
1:37for wt god can nothinge be vnpossible.
1:38And Mary sayd: beholde ye honde mayden of ye lorde be it vnto me even as thou hast sayde. And the angell departed from her.
1:39And Mary arose in thoose dayes and went into ye mountayns wt hast into a cite of Iurie
1:40and entred into the housse of zachary and saluted Elizabeth.
1:41And it fortuned as Elizabeth hearde ye salutacion of Mary the babe spronge in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy goost
1:42and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde: Blessed arte thou amonge wemen and blessed is the frute of thy wombe.
1:43And whence hapeneth this to me that the mother of my Lorde shuld come to me?
1:44For loo assone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares the babe sprange in my belly for ioye.
1:45And blessed arte thou that belevedst: for thoose thinges shalbe performed wich were tolde ye from the lorde.
1:46And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde.
1:47And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure
1:48For he hath loked on the povre degre of his honde mayde. Beholde now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed.
1:49For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges and holye is his name.
1:50And his mercy is on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions.
1:51He sheweth strength with his arme he scattereth them that are proude in the ymaginacion of their hertes.
1:52He putteth doune the myghty from their seates and exalteth them of lowe degre.
1:53He filleth the hongry with good thinges: and sendeth awaye the ryche emptye.
1:54He remenbreth mercy: and helpeth his servaunt Israel.
1:55Even as he promised to oure fathers Abraham and to his seede for ever.
1:56And mary aboode with hyr aboute a .iii. monethes and retourned agayne to hyr awne housse.
1:57Elizabethes tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered and she brought forth a sonne.
1:58And her neghboures and her cosins hearde tell how the lorde had shewed great mercy vpon her and they reioysed with her.
1:59And it fortuned ye eyght daye: they cam to circumcise the chylde: and called his name zacharias after the name of his father.
1:60How be it his mother answered and sayd: not so but he shalbe called Ihon.
1:61And they sayd vnto hyr: Ther is none of thy kynne that is named wt this name.
1:62And they made signes to his father how he wolde have him called.
1:63And he axed for wrytynge tables and wroote saying: his name is Iohn. And they marvelled all.
