Excerpt
Book 42. Luke 42:001:001. Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 42:001:002 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 42:001:003 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus 42:001:004 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 42:001:005 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 42:001:006 and they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 42:001:007 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 42:001:008 and it came to pass, that while he executed the priest?s office before God in the order of his course, 42:001:009 According to the custom of the priest?s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 42:001:010 and the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. 42:001:011 and there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 42:001:012 and when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 42:001:013 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 42:001:014 and thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 42:001:015 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother?s womb. 42:001:016 and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
