6 | JOHN is BORN | ||
Matt | Mark | Luke 1 | |
57 | Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, | ||
and she gave birth to a son. | |||
58 | And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard | ||
that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, | |||
and they rejoiced with her. | |||
59 | And on the eighth day | ||
they came to circumcise the child; | |||
and they would have named him Zechariah after his father, | |||
60 | but his mother said, | ||
"Not so; | |||
he shall be called John." | |||
61 | And they said to her, | ||
"None of your kindred is called by this name." | |||
62 | And they made signs to his father, | ||
inquiring what he would have him called. | |||
63 | And he asked for a writing tablet, | ||
and wrote, "His name is John." | |||
And they all marveled. | |||
64 | And immediately his mouth was opened | ||
and his tongue loosed, | |||
and he spoke, blessing God. | |||
65 | And fear came on all their neighbors. | ||
And all these things were talked about | |||
through all the hill country of Judea; | |||
66 | and all who heard them | ||
laid them up in their hearts, saying, | |||
"What then will this child be?" | |||
For the hand of the Lord was with him. | |||
67 | And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, | ||
and prophesied, saying, | |||
68 | "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, | ||
for he has visited and redeemed his people, | |||
69 | and has raised up a horn of salvation for us | ||
in the house of his servant David, | |||
70 | as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets | ||
from of old, | |||
71 | that we should be saved from our enemies, | ||
and from the hand of all who 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 Abraham, | ||
74 | to grant us that we, | ||
being delivered from 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, will be called the prophet of the Most High; | ||
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, | |||
77 | to give knowledge of salvation to his people | ||
in the forgiveness of their sins, | |||
78 | through the tender mercy of our God, | ||
when the day shall dawn upon us from on high | |||
79 | to give light to those who sit in darkness | ||
and in the shadow of death, | |||
to guide our feet into the way of peace." | |||
80 | And the child grew and became strong in spirit, | ||
and he was in the wilderness | |||
till the day of his manifestation to Israel. |
