¹ 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 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

³ It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto you in order, most excellent Theophilus,

⁴ That you might know the certainty of those things, wherein you have been instructed.

⁵ THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Yahud, a certain priest named Zakaryahu, of the course of Aviyahu: and his woman was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Eliysheva.

⁶ And they were both righteous before Elohiym, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of Yahuah blameless.

⁷ And they had no child, because that Eliysheva was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

⁸ And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before Elohiym in the order of his course,

⁹ According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the Temple of Yahuah.

¹⁰ And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

¹¹ And there appeared unto him an angel of Yahuah standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

¹² And when Zakaryahu saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

¹³ But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zakaryahu: for your prayer is heard; and your woman Eliysheva shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yahuchanon.

¹⁴ And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

¹⁵ For he shall be great in the sight of Yahuah, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Ruach Ha'Qodesh, even from his mother's womb.

¹⁶ And many of the children of Yashar'el shall he turn to EL-Yahuah Elohayhem.

¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the ruach and power of Eliyahu, 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 Yahuah.

¹⁸ And Zakaryahu said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my woman well stricken in years.

¹⁹ And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gavriy'el, that stand in the presence of Elohiym; and am sent to speak unto you, and to show you this good news.

²⁰ And, behold, you shall be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believed not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

²¹ And the people waited for Zakaryahu, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the Temple.

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.

²³ And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

²⁴ And after those days his woman Eliysheva conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

²⁵ Thus has Yah dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

²⁶ And in the sixth month the angel Gavriy'el was sent from Elohiym unto a city of Galiyl, named Natsareth,

²⁷ To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Yoceph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Miryam.

²⁸ And the angel came near unto her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favored, Yah is with you: blessed are you את among women.

²⁹ And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

³⁰ And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Miryam: for you have found favor with Elohiym.

³¹ And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Yahusha.

³² He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of El Elyon: and Yahuah Elohiym shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

³³ And he shall reign over the house of Ya`aqov forever; and of his Kingdom there shall be no end.

³⁴ Then said Miryam unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

³⁵ And the angel answered and said unto her, The Ruach Ha'Qodesh shall come upon you, and the power of El Elyon shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of Elohiym.

³⁶ And, behold, your cousin Eliysheva, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

³⁷ For with Elohiym nothing shall be impossible.

³⁸ And Miryam said, Behold the handmaid of Yahuah; be it unto me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.

³⁹ And Miryam arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Yahudah;

⁴⁰ And entered into the house of Zakaryahu, and saluted Eliysheva.

⁴¹ And it came to pass, that, when Eliysheva heard the salutation of Miryam, the babe leaped in her womb; and Eliysheva was filled with the Ruach Ha'Qodesh:

⁴² And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you את among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

⁴³ And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Adonai should come to me?

⁴⁴ For, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

⁴⁵ And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from Yahuah.

⁴⁶ And Miryam said, My soul magnifies Yahuah,

⁴⁷ And my ruach has rejoiced in Elohiym my Savior.

⁴⁸ For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

⁴⁹ For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.

⁵⁰ And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

⁵¹ He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

⁵² He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.

⁵⁴ He has helped his servant Yashar'el, in remembrance of his mercy;

⁵⁵ As he spoke to our fathers, to Avraham, and to his seed forever.

⁵⁶ And Miryam abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

⁵⁷ Now Eliysheva's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

⁵⁸ And her neighbors and her cousins heard how Yah had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

⁵⁹ And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zakaryahu, after the name of his father.

⁶⁰ And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called Yahuchanon.

⁶¹ And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.

⁶² And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

⁶³ And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is Yahuchanon. And they marvelled all.

⁶⁴ And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised Elohiym.

⁶⁵ And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Yahud.

⁶⁶ And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of Yahuah was with him.

⁶⁷ And his father Zakaryahu was filled with the Ruach Ha'Qodesh, and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸ Blessed be Yahuah Elohiym of Yashar'el; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

⁶⁹ And has raised up a horn of yeshu`ah for us in the house of his servant David;

⁷⁰ As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

⁷¹ That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

⁷² To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

⁷³ The oath which he swore to our father Avraham,

⁷⁴ That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

⁷⁵ In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

⁷⁶ And you, child, shall be called the prophet of El Elyon: for you shall go before the face of Yahuah to prepare his ways;

⁷⁷ To give knowledge of yeshu`ah unto his people by the remission of their sins,

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our Elohiym; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,

⁷⁹ To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

⁸⁰ And the child grew, and waxed strong in the ruach, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Yashar'el.
