| 1 Since, indeed, many have attempted to set in order a narrative of the things that have been completed among us, 2 just as they have been handed on to those of us who from the beginning saw the same and were ministers of the word, 3 so it seemed good to me also, having diligently followed everything from the beginning, to write to you, in an orderly manner, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed. 5 There was, in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the section of Abijah, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 Now they were both just before God, progressing in all of the commandments and the justifications of the Lord without blame. 7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both had become advanced in years. 8 Then it happened that, when he was exercising the priesthood before God, in the order of his section, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, the lot fell so that he would offer incense, entering into the temple of the Lord. 10 And the entire multitude of the people was praying outside, at the hour of incense. 11 Then there appeared to him an Angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense. 12 And upon seeing him, Zechariah was disturbed, and fear fell over him. 13 But the Angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son to you. And you shall call his name John. 14 And there will be joy and exultation for you, and many will rejoice in his nativity. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will 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 convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go before him with the spirit and power of Elijah, so that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, so as to prepare for the Lord a completed people.” 18 And Zechariah said to the Angel: “How may I know this? For I am elderly, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And in response, the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these things to you. 20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak, until the day on which these things shall be, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah. And they wondered why he was being delayed in the temple. 22 Then, 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 was making signs to them, but he remained mute. 23 And it happened that, after the days of his office were completed, he went away to his house. 24 Then, after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself for five months, saying: 25 “For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men.” 26 Then, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by 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 name of the virgin was Mary. 28 And upon entering, the Angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.” 29 And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 And the Angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. 31 Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS. 32 He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity. 33 And his kingdom shall have no end.” 34 Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?” 35 And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God. 36 And behold, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren. 37 For no word will be impossible with God.” 38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her. 39 And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah. 40 And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me? 595 44 For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.” 46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord. 47 And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Saviour. 48 For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him. 51 He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart. 52 He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. 54 He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy, 55 just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” 56 Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house. 57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her. 59 And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father’s name, Zechariah. 60 And in response, his mother said: “Not so. Instead, he shall be called John.” 61 And they said to her, “But there is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.” 62 Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called. 63 And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: “His name is John.” And they all wondered. 64 Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God. 65 And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea. 66 And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: “What do you think this boy will be?” And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. 67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit. And he prophesied, saying: 68 “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. For he has visited and has wrought the redemption of his people. 69 And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his servant, 70 just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, who are from ages past: 71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us, 72 to accomplish mercy with our fathers, and to call to mind his holy testament, 73 the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us, 74 so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and in justice before him, throughout all our days. 76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people for the remission of their sins, 78 through the heart of the mercy of our God, by which, descending from on high, he has visited us, 79 to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct our feet in the way of peace.” 80 And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel. |
| 1 And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius. 3 And all went to be declared, each one to his own city. 4 Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child. 6 Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son. And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn. 8 And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock. 9 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear. 10 And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people. 11 For today a Saviour has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.” 15 And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.” 16 And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger. 17 Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy. 18 And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them. 21 And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22 And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord, 23 just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,” 24 and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” 25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him. 26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. 27 And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law, 28 he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said: 29 “Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples: 32 the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people 596 Israel.” 33 And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted. 35 And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” 36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity. 37 And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day. 38 And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel. 39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth. 40 Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him. 41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover. 42 And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day. 43 And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this. 44 But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them. 47 But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses. 48 And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.” 49 And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?” 50 And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them. 51 And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart. 52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men. |
