Luke 1:39

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
2
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,
4
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8
According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12
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.
14
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.
16
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
21
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
22
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
27
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
29
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50
He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54
As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
56
Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60
And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62
And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
66
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68
And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72
The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
