Introduction

1:1-4 Ac 1:1

4so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

7But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.

10And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.

17And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteousto make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

18Zechariah asked the angel, How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.

And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.

21Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

23When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25The Lord has done this for me, she said. In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.

The Birth of Jesus Foretold

The angel went to her and said, Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.

33and he will reign over Jacobs descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.

34How will this be, Mary asked the angel, since I am a virgin?

37For no word from God will ever fail.
