| 1 | Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, | Dedication to Theophilus Lk.1.1-4 | Ἐπειδήπερ πολλοὶ ἐπεχείρησαν ἀνατάξασθαι διήγησιν περὶ τῶν πεπληροφορημένων ἐν ἡμῖν πραγμάτων, | |
| 2 | just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, | καθὼς παρέδοσαν ἡμῖν οἱ ἀπ' ἀρχῆς αὐτόπται καὶ ὑπηρέται γενόμενοι τοῦ λόγου, | ||
| 3 | it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, | ἐδοξε κἀμοὶ παρηκολουθηκότι ἀνωθεν πᾶσιν ἀκριβῶς καθεξῆς σοι γράψαι, κράτιστε Θεόφιλε, | ||
| 4 | that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. | ἵνα ἐπιγνῷς περὶ ὧν κατηχήθης λόγων τὴν ἀσφάλειαν. | ||
| 5 | In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. | The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold Lk.1.5-25 (Jerusalem) - | Ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου βασιλέως τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἱερεύς τις ὀνόματι Ζαχαρίας ἐξ ἐφημερίας Ἀβιά, καὶ γυνὴ αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων Ἀαρών, καὶ τὸ ὀνομα αὐτῆς Ἐλισάβετ. | |
| 6 | And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. | ἦσαν δὲ δίκαιοι ἀμφότεροι ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ, πορευόμενοι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν τοῦ κυρίου ἀμεμπτοι. | ||
| 7 | But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. | καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τέκνον, καθότι ἦν ἡ Ἐλισάβετ στεῖρα, καὶ ἀμφότεροι προβεβηκότες ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῶν ἦσαν. | ||
| 8 | Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, | Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ ἐναντι τοῦ θεοῦ, | ||
| 9 | according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. | κατὰ τὸ ἐθος τῆς ἱερατείας ἐλαχε τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ κυρίου, | ||
| 10 | And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. | καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἦν τοῦ λαοῦ προσευχόμενον ἐξω τῇ ὡρᾳ τοῦ θυμιάματος· | ||
| 11 | And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. | ὠφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἀγγελος κυρίου ἑστὼς ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θυμιάματος. | ||
| 12 | And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. | καὶ ἐταράχθη Ζαχαρίας ἰδών, καὶ φόβος ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ' αὐτόν. | ||
| 13 | But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. | εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἀγγελος, Μὴ φοβοῦ, Ζαχαρία, διότι εἰσηκούσθη ἡ δέησίς σου, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου Ἐλισάβετ γεννήσει υἱόν σοι, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννην. | ||
| 14 | And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; | καὶ ἐσται χαρά σοι καὶ ἀγαλλίασις, καὶ πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τῇ γενέσει αὐτοῦ χαρήσονται· | ||
| 15 | for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. | ἐσται γὰρ μέγας ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐ μὴ πίῃ, καὶ πνεύματος ἀγίου πλησθήσεται ἐτι ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, | ||
| 16 | And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, | καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν. | ||
| 17 | and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared." | - to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children Lk.1.17 | Mal.4.5-6 | Sir.48.10 | καὶ αὐτὸς προελεύσεται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ δυνάμει Ἠλίου, ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων, ἑτοιμάσαι κυρίῳ λαὸν κατεσκευασμ ένον. | |
| 18 | And Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years." | Καὶ εἶπεν Ζαχαρίας πρὸς τὸν ἀγγελον, Κατὰ τί γνώσομαι τοῦτὸ ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι πρεσβύτης καὶ ἡ γυνή μου προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτῆς. | ||
| 19 | And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. | καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἐγώ εἰμι Γαβριὴλ ὁ παρεστηκὼς ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπεστάλην λαλῆσαι πρὸς σὲ καὶ εὐαγγελίσασθαί σοι ταῦτα· | ||
| 20 | And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time." | καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐσῃ σιωπῶν καὶ μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι ἀχρι ἧς ἡμέρας γένηται ταῦτα, ἀνθ' ὧν οὐκ ἐπίστευσας τοῖς λόγοις μου, οἱτινες πληρωθήσονται εἰς τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῶν. | ||
| 21 | And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. | Καὶ ἦν ὁ λαὸς προσδοκῶν τὸν Ζαχαρίαν, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐν τῷ χρονίζειν ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτόν. | ||
| 22 | And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. | ἐξελθὼν δὲ οὐκ ἐδύνατο λαλῆσαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι ὀπτασίαν ἑώρακεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν διανεύων αὐτοῖς, καὶ διέμενεν κωφός. | ||
| 23 | And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. | καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 24 | After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, | Μετὰ δὲ ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας συνέλαβεν Ἐλισάβετ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ· καὶ περιέκρυβεν ἑαυτὴν μῆνας πέντε, λέγουσα | ||
| 25 | "Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men." | ὁτι Οὑτως μοι πεποίηκεν κύριος ἐν ἡμέραις αἷς ἐπεῖδεν ἀφελεῖν ὀνειδός μου ἐν ἀνθρώποις. | ||
| 26 | In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, | The Birth of Jesus Foretold Lk.1.26-38 (Nazareth) - | Ἐν δὲ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἀγγελος Γαβριὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ᾗ ὀνομα Ναζαρὲθ | |
| 27 | to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. | πρὸς παρθένον ἐμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὀνομα Ἰωσὴφ ἐξ οἰκου Δαυίδ, καὶ τὸ ὀνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ. | ||
| 28 | And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favoured one, the Lord is with you!" | καὶ εἰσελθὼν πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπεν, Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ κύριος μετὰ σοῦ. | ||
| 29 | But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. | ἡ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ διεταράχθη καὶ διελογίζετο ποταπὸς εἰη ὁ ἀσπασμὸς οὗτος. | ||
| 30 | And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀγγελος αὐτῇ, Μὴ φοβοῦ, Μαριάμ, εὗρες γὰρ χάριν παρὰ τῷ θεῷ· | ||
| 31 | And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. | καὶ ἰδοὺ συλλήμψῃ ἐν γαστρὶ καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν. | ||
| 32 | He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, | οὗτος ἐσται μέγας καὶ υἱὸς ὑψίστου κληθήσεται, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ κύριος ὁ θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, | ||
| 33 | and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end." | καὶ βασιλεύσει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐσται τέλος. | ||
| 34 | And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?" | εἶπεν δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἀγγελον, Πῶς ἐσται τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἀνδρα οὐ γινώσκὼ; | ||
| 35 | And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, The Son of God. | καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἀγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Πνεῦμα ἀγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον ἀγιον κληθήσεται, υἱὸς θεοῦ. | ||
| 36 | And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. | καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενίς σου καὶ αὐτὴ συνείληφεν υἱὸν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς, καὶ οὗτος μὴν ἑκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ· | ||
| 37 | For with God nothing will be impossible." | ὁτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ πᾶν ῥῆμα. | ||
| 38 | And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. | εἶπεν δὲ Μαριάμ, Ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτῆς ὁ ἀγγελος. | ||
| 39 | In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, | Mary Visits Elizabeth Lk.1.39-45 (Hebron or Juttah) - | Ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν μετὰ σπουδῆς εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα, | |
| 40 | and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. | καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ζαχαρίου καὶ ἠσπάσατο τὴν Ἐλισάβετ. | ||
| 41 | And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit | καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἠκουσεν τὸν ἀσπασμὸν τῆς Μαρίας ἡ Ἐλισάβετ, ἐσκίρτησεν τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπλήσθη πνεύματος ἀγίου ἡ Ἐλισάβετ, | ||
| 42 | and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! | καὶ ἀνεφώνησεν κραυγῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εἶπεν, Εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν, καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου. | ||
| 43 | And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? | καὶ πόθεν μοι τοῦτο ἵνα ἐλθῃ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ κυρίου μου πρὸς ἐμέ; | ||
| 44 | For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. | ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὡς ἐγένετο ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἀσπασμοῦ σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, ἐσκίρτησεν ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου. | ||
| 45 | And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." | καὶ μακαρία ἡ πιστεύσασα ὅτι ἐσται τελείωσις τοῖς λελαλημένοις αὐτῇ παρὰ κυρίου. | ||
| 46 | And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, | Mary's Song of Praise Odes.11.46-55 | | Καὶ εἶπεν Μαριάμ, Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον, | |
| 47 | and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, | - And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour Lk.1.47 | 2Sm.2.1-10 | καὶ ἠγαλλίασεν τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου, | |
| 48 | for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; | - for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. Lk.1.48 | 2Sm.1.11 | ὁτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ. ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσίν με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί· | |
| 49 | for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. | ὁτι ἐποίησέν μοι μεγάλα ὁ δυνατός, καὶ ἀγιον τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ, | ||
| 50 | And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. | καὶ τὸ ἐλεος αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰς καὶ γενεὰς τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν. | ||
| 51 | He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, | Ἐποίησεν κράτος ἐν βραχίονι αὐτοῦ, διεσκόρπισεν ὑπερηφάνους διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτῶν· | ||
| 52 | he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; | καθεῖλεν δυνάστας ἀπὸ θρόνων καὶ ὑψωσεν ταπεινούς, | ||
| 53 | he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. | πεινῶντας ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶν καὶ πλουτοῦντας ἐξαπέστειλεν κενούς. | ||
| 54 | He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, | ἀντελάβετο Ἰσραὴλ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ, μνησθῆναι ἐλέους, | ||
| 55 | as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever." | καθὼς ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. | ||
| 56 | And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home. | Ἐμεινεν δὲ Μαριὰμ σὺν αὐτῇ ὡς μῆνας τρεῖς, καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς. | ||
| 57 | Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son. | The Birth of John the Baptist Lk.1.57-66 (Hebron) - | Τῇ δὲ Ἐλισάβετ ἐπλήσθη ὁ χρόνος τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱόν. | |
| 58 | And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. | καὶ ἠκουσαν οἱ περίοικοι καὶ οἱ συγγενεῖς αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνεν κύριος τὸ ἐλεος αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτῆς, καὶ συνέχαιρον αὐτῇ. | ||
| 59 | And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah after his father, | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ ἦλθον περιτεμεῖν τὸ παιδίον, καὶ ἐκάλουν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ζαχαρίαν. | ||
| 60 | but his mother said, "Not so; he shall be called John." | καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσα ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν, Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ κληθήσεται Ἰωάννης. | ||
| 61 | And they said to her, "None of your kindred is called by this name." | καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτὴν ὅτι Οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου ὃς καλεῖται τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ. | ||
| 62 | And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called. | ἐνένευον δὲ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ τί ἂν θέλοι καλεῖσθαι αὐτό. | ||
| 63 | And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled. | καὶ αἰτήσας πινακίδιον ἐγραψεν λέγων, Ἰωάννης ἐστὶν ὀνομα αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐθαύμασαν πάντες. | ||
| 64 | And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. | ἀνεῴχθη δὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ παραχρῆμα καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει εὐλογῶν τὸν θεόν. | ||
| 65 | And fear came on all their neighbours. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea; | καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πάντας φόβος τοὺς περιοικοῦντας αὐτούς, καὶ ἐν ὁλῃ τῇ ὀρεινῇ τῆς Ἰουδαίας διελαλεῖτο πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, | ||
| 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. | καὶ ἐθεντο πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν, λέγοντες, Τί ἀρα τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο ἐσταὶ καὶ γὰρ χεὶρ κυρίου ἦν μετ' αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 67 | And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, | The Prophesy of Zechariah Lk.1.67-80 (Hebron) - | Καὶ Ζαχαρίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐπλήσθη πνεύματος ἀγίου καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν λέγων, | |
| 68 | "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people, | - Blessed be the Lord God of Israel Lk.1.68 | Ps.41.13 | Εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὁτι ἐπεσκέψατο καὶ ἐποίησεν λύτρωσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, | |
| 69 | and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, | καὶ ἠγειρεν κέρας σωτηρίας ἡμῖν ἐν οἰκῳ Δαυὶδ παιδὸς αὐτοῦ, | ||
| 70 | as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, | καθὼς ἐλάλησεν διὰ στόματος τῶν ἀγίων ἀπ' αἰῶνος προφητῶν αὐτοῦ, | ||
| 71 | that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; | σωτηρίαν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν μισούντων ἡμᾶς· | ||
| 72 | to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, | ποιῆσαι ἐλεος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ μνησθῆναι διαθήκης ἀγίας αὐτοῦ, | ||
| 73 | the oath which he swore to our father Abraham, | ὁρκον ὃν ὠμοσεν πρὸς Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν, τοῦ δοῦναι ἡμῖν | ||
| 74 | to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, | ἀφόβως ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ῥυσθέντας λατρεύειν αὐτῷ | ||
| 75 | in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. | ἐν ὁσιότητι καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἡμῶν. | ||
| 76 | And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, | - for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways Lk.1.76 | Mal.3.1 | Καὶ σὺ δέ, παιδίον, προφήτης ὑψίστου κληθήσῃ, προπορεύσῃ γὰρ ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἑτοιμάσαι ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, | |
| 77 | to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, | τοῦ δοῦναι γνῶσιν σωτηρίας τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀφέσει ἀμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν, | ||
| 78 | through the tender mercy of our God, when the day shall dawn upon us from on high | διὰ σπλάγχνα ἐλέους θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἐν οἷς ἐπισκέψεται ἡμᾶς ἀνατολὴ ἐξ ὑψους, | ||
| 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." | - To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death Lk.1.79 | Is.9.2 | Is.59.8 | ἐπιφᾶναι τοῖς ἐν σκότει καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου καθημένοις, τοῦ κατευθῦναι τοὺς πόδας ἡμῶν εἰς ὁδὸν εἰρήνης. | |
| 80 | And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel. | Τὸ δὲ παιδίον ηὐξανεν καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο πνεύματι, καὶ ἦν ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις ἑως ἡμέρας ἀναδείξεως αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν Ἰσραήλ. | ||
