Luke 1:51

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
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
14
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
16
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
18
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
20
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
22
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
24
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
30
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
32
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
34
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
36
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
38
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
40
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
42
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
44
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
46
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
48
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
50
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
52
He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
54
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
56
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
58
And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
60
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
62
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
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.
