In the time of Herod, the king of Jewry, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth.

And they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren; And both were well stricken in age.

according to the custom of the priest's office his lot was to burn incense. And he went into the temple of the Lord,

and the whole multitude of the people were without, in their prayers, while the incense was a burning.

And when Zacharias saw him, he was abashed, and fear came on him.

And it fortuned, as soon as the time of his office was out, he departed home into his own house. And after those days,

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

to a virgin espoused to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary.

When she saw him, she was abashed at his saying: and cast in her mind what manner of salutation that should be.

And it fortuned, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe sprang in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy ghost,

Elizabeth's time was come that she should be delivered; And she brought forth a son.

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue also, and he spake lauding God.

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

And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy ghost, and prophesied, saying,

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in wilderness: till the day came, when he should show himself unto the Israelites.

And this taxing was the first executed, and when Quirinius was leftenant in Syria.

And Joseph also ascended from Galilee, out of a city called Nazareth, into Jewry: unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and lineage of David:

to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, which was with child.

And it fortuned while they were there, her time was come that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her first begotten son. And wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them within, in the inn.

And straightway there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly soldiers, lauding God, and saying,

And when they had seen it, they published abroad the saying, which was told them of that child.

And the shepherds returned, praising and lauding God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was told unto them.

And when the eighth day was come that the child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was named of the angel before he was conceived in the mother's womb.

And when the time of their purification, after the law of Moses, was come they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And the same man was just and feared God, and longed for the consolation of Israel, and the holy ghost was in him.

And an answer was given him of the holy ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher: which was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity.
