There was in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the daily order of Abia: and his wife the daughter of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.

And no child was to them, as Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.

And it was in his being priest, in the arranging of the daily order before God,

And a messenger of the Lord was seen to him, standing from the right of the altar of fumigation.

And Zacharias having seen, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

The messenger having answered, said to him, I am Gabriel, standing before God; and was sent to speak to thee, and announce these good news to thee.

And the time was completed to Elizabeth, for her to bring forth; and she brought forth a son.

And it was in the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias.

And his month was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, praising God.

And fear was upon all dwelling round about them: and in all the mount of Judea all these words were discoursed about.

And all having heard, set in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing forth to Israel.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and swathed him, and put him in a mangier; : for there was no place for them in the inn.

For this day a Saviour was born to you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.

And suddenly was there a multitude with the messenger of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,

And it was when the messenger departed from them into heaven, and the men, the shepherds, said to one another, Let us pass through now to Bethlehem, and see this word done,which the Lord made known to us.
