Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
1επειδηπερ πολλοι επεχειρησαν αναταξασθαι διηγησιν περι των πεπληροφορημενων εν ημιν πραγματων
2Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
2καθωσ παρεδοσαν ημιν οι απ αρχησ αυτοπται και υπηρεται γενομενοι του λογου
3It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
3εδοξεν καμοι παρηκολουθηκοτι ανωθεν πασιν ακριβωσ καθεξησ σοι γραψαι κρατιστε θεοφιλε
4That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
4ινα επιγνωσ περι ων κατηχηθησ λογων την ασφαλειαν
5¶ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
5εγενετο εν ταισ ημεραισ ηρωδου του βασιλεωσ τησ ιουδαιασ ιερευσ τισ ονοματι ζαχαριασ εξ εφημεριασ αβια και η γυνη αυτου εκ των θυγατερων ααρων και το ονομα αυτησ ελισαβετ
6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
6ησαν δε δικαιοι αμφοτεροι ενωπιον του θεου πορευομενοι εν πασαισ ταισ εντολαισ και δικαιωμασιν του κυριου αμεμπτοι
7And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
7και ουκ ην αυτοισ τεκνον καθοτι η ελισαβετ ην στειρα και αμφοτεροι προβεβηκοτεσ εν ταισ ημεραισ αυτων ησαν
8And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
8εγενετο δε εν τω ιερατευειν αυτον εν τη ταξει τησ εφημεριασ αυτου εναντι του θεου
9According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
9κατα το εθοσ τησ ιερατειασ ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εισ τον ναον του κυριου
10And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
10και παν το πληθοσ ην του λαου προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματοσ
11And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
11ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελοσ κυριου εστωσ εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματοσ
12And when Zacharias saw him , he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
12και εταραχθη ζαχαριασ ιδων και φοβοσ επεπεσεν επ αυτον
13But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
13ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο αγγελοσ μη φοβου ζαχαρια διοτι εισηκουσθη η δεησισ σου και η γυνη σου ελισαβετ γεννησει υιον σοι και καλεσεισ το ονομα αυτου ιωαννην
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
14και εσται χαρα σοι και αγαλλιασισ και πολλοι επι τη γεννησει αυτου χαρησονται
15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
15εσται γαρ μεγασ ενωπιον του κυριου και οινον και σικερα ου μη πιη και πνευματοσ αγιου πλησθησεται ετι εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ αυτου
16And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
16και πολλουσ των υιων ισραηλ επιστρεψει επι κυριον τον θεον αυτων
17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
17και αυτοσ προελευσεται ενωπιον αυτου εν πνευματι και δυναμει ηλιου επιστρεψαι καρδιασ πατερων επι τεκνα και απειθεισ εν φρονησει δικαιων ετοιμασαι κυριω λαον κατεσκευασμενον
18And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
18και ειπεν ζαχαριασ προσ τον αγγελον κατα τι γνωσομαι τουτο εγω γαρ ειμι πρεσβυτησ και η γυνη μου προβεβηκυια εν ταισ ημεραισ αυτησ
19And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
19και αποκριθεισ ο αγγελοσ ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι γαβριηλ ο παρεστηκωσ ενωπιον του θεου και απεσταλην λαλησαι προσ σε και ευαγγελισασθαι σοι ταυτα
20And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
20και ιδου εση σιωπων και μη δυναμενοσ λαλησαι αχρι ησ ημερασ γενηται ταυτα ανθ ων ουκ επιστευσασ τοισ λογοισ μου οιτινεσ πληρωθησονται εισ τον καιρον αυτων
21And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
21και ην ο λαοσ προσδοκων τον ζαχαριαν και εθαυμαζον εν τω χρονιζειν αυτον εν τω ναω
22And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
22εξελθων δε ουκ ηδυνατο λαλησαι αυτοισ και επεγνωσαν οτι οπτασιαν εωρακεν εν τω ναω και αυτοσ ην διανευων αυτοισ και διεμενεν κωφοσ
23And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
23και εγενετο ωσ επλησθησαν αι ημεραι τησ λειτουργιασ αυτου απηλθεν εισ τον οικον αυτου
24And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
24μετα δε ταυτασ τασ ημερασ συνελαβεν ελισαβετ η γυνη αυτου και περιεκρυβεν εαυτην μηνασ πεντε λεγουσα
25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me , to take away my reproach among men.
25οτι ουτωσ μοι πεποιηκεν ο κυριοσ εν ημεραισ αισ επειδεν αφελειν το ονειδοσ μου εν ανθρωποισ
26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
26εν δε τω μηνι τω εκτω απεσταλη ο αγγελοσ γαβριηλ υπο του θεου εισ πολιν τησ γαλιλαιασ η ονομα ναζαρετ
27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
27προσ παρθενον μεμνηστευμενην ανδρι ω ονομα ιωσηφ εξ οικου δαυιδ και το ονομα τησ παρθενου μαριαμ
28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
28και εισελθων ο αγγελοσ προσ αυτην ειπεν χαιρε κεχαριτωμενη ο κυριοσ μετα σου ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
29And when she saw him , she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
29η δε ιδουσα διεταραχθη επι τω λογω αυτου και διελογιζετο ποταποσ ειη ο ασπασμοσ ουτοσ
30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
30και ειπεν ο αγγελοσ αυτη μη φοβου μαριαμ ευρεσ γαρ χαριν παρα τω θεω
31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
31και ιδου συλληψη εν γαστρι και τεξη υιον και καλεσεισ το ονομα αυτου ιησουν
32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
32ουτοσ εσται μεγασ και υιοσ υψιστου κληθησεται και δωσει αυτω κυριοσ ο θεοσ τον θρονον δαυιδ του πατροσ αυτου
33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
33και βασιλευσει επι τον οικον ιακωβ εισ τουσ αιωνασ και τησ βασιλειασ αυτου ουκ εσται τελοσ
34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
34ειπεν δε μαριαμ προσ τον αγγελον πωσ εσται τουτο επει ανδρα ου γινωσκω
35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
35και αποκριθεισ ο αγγελοσ ειπεν αυτη πνευμα αγιον επελευσεται επι σε και δυναμισ υψιστου επισκιασει σοι διο και το γεννωμενον αγιον κληθησεται υιοσ θεου
36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
36και ιδου ελισαβετ η συγγενησ σου και αυτη συνειληφυια υιον εν γηρει αυτησ και ουτοσ μην εκτοσ εστιν αυτη τη καλουμενη στειρα
37For with God nothing shall be impossible.
37οτι ουκ αδυνατησει παρα τω θεω παν ρημα
38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
38ειπεν δε μαριαμ ιδου η δουλη κυριου γενοιτο μοι κατα το ρημα σου και απηλθεν απ αυτησ ο αγγελοσ
39And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
39αναστασα δε μαριαμ εν ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ επορευθη εισ την ορεινην μετα σπουδησ εισ πολιν ιουδα
40And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
40και εισηλθεν εισ τον οικον ζαχαριου και ησπασατο την ελισαβετ
41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
41και εγενετο ωσ ηκουσεν η ελισαβετ τον ασπασμον τησ μαριασ εσκιρτησεν το βρεφοσ εν τη κοιλια αυτησ και επλησθη πνευματοσ αγιου η ελισαβετ
42And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
42και ανεφωνησεν φωνη μεγαλη και ειπεν ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν και ευλογημενοσ ο καρποσ τησ κοιλιασ σου
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43και ποθεν μοι τουτο ινα ελθη η μητηρ του κυριου μου προσ με
44For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
44ιδου γαρ ωσ εγενετο η φωνη του ασπασμου σου εισ τα ωτα μου εσκιρτησεν το βρεφοσ εν αγαλλιασει εν τη κοιλια μου
45And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
45και μακαρια η πιστευσασα οτι εσται τελειωσισ τοισ λελαλημενοισ αυτη παρα κυριου
46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
46και ειπεν μαριαμ μεγαλυνει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
47και ηγαλλιασεν το πνευμα μου επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου
48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
48οτι επεβλεψεν επι την ταπεινωσιν τησ δουλησ αυτου ιδου γαρ απο του νυν μακαριουσιν με πασαι αι γενεαι
49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
49οτι εποιησεν μοι μεγαλεια ο δυνατοσ και αγιον το ονομα αυτου
50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
50και το ελεοσ αυτου εισ γενεασ γενεων τοισ φοβουμενοισ αυτον
51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
51εποιησεν κρατοσ εν βραχιονι αυτου διεσκορπισεν υπερηφανουσ διανοια καρδιασ αυτων
52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
52καθειλεν δυναστασ απο θρονων και υψωσεν ταπεινουσ
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
53πεινωντασ ενεπλησεν αγαθων και πλουτουντασ εξαπεστειλεν κενουσ
54He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
54αντελαβετο ισραηλ παιδοσ αυτου μνησθηναι ελεουσ
55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
55καθωσ ελαλησεν προσ τουσ πατερασ ημων τω αβρααμ και τω σπερματι αυτου εισ τον αιωνα
56And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
56εμεινεν δε μαριαμ συν αυτη ωσει μηνασ τρεισ και υπεστρεψεν εισ τον οικον αυτησ
57Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
57τη δε ελισαβετ επλησθη ο χρονοσ του τεκειν αυτην και εγεννησεν υιον
58And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
58και ηκουσαν οι περιοικοι και οι συγγενεισ αυτησ οτι εμεγαλυνεν κυριοσ το ελεοσ αυτου μετ αυτησ και συνεχαιρον αυτη
59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
59και εγενετο εν τη ογδοη ημερα ηλθον περιτεμειν το παιδιον και εκαλουν αυτο επι τω ονοματι του πατροσ αυτου ζαχαριαν
60And his mother answered and said, Not so ; but he shall be called John.
60και αποκριθεισα η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν ουχι αλλα κληθησεται ιωαννησ
61And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
61και ειπον προσ αυτην οτι ουδεισ εστιν εν τη συγγενεια σου οσ καλειται τω ονοματι τουτω
62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
62ενενευον δε τω πατρι αυτου το τι αν θελοι καλεισθαι αυτον
63And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
63και αιτησασ πινακιδιον εγραψεν λεγων ιωαννησ εστιν το ονομα αυτου και εθαυμασαν παντεσ
64And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed , and he spake, and praised God.
64ανεωχθη δε το στομα αυτου παραχρημα και η γλωσσα αυτου και ελαλει ευλογων τον θεον
65And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
65και εγενετο επι παντασ φοβοσ τουσ περιοικουντασ αυτουσ και εν ολη τη ορεινη τησ ιουδαιασ διελαλειτο παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα
66And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
66και εθεντο παντεσ οι ακουσαντεσ εν τη καρδια αυτων λεγοντεσ τι αρα το παιδιον τουτο εσται και χειρ κυριου ην μετ αυτου
67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
67και ζαχαριασ ο πατηρ αυτου επλησθη πνευματοσ αγιου και προεφητευσεν λεγων
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
68ευλογητοσ κυριοσ ο θεοσ του ισραηλ οτι επεσκεψατο και εποιησεν λυτρωσιν τω λαω αυτου
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
69και ηγειρεν κερασ σωτηριασ ημιν εν τω οικω δαυιδ του παιδοσ αυτου
70As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
70καθωσ ελαλησεν δια στοματοσ των αγιων των απ αιωνοσ προφητων αυτου
71That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
71σωτηριαν εξ εχθρων ημων και εκ χειροσ παντων των μισουντων ημασ
72To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
72ποιησαι ελεοσ μετα των πατερων ημων και μνησθηναι διαθηκησ αγιασ αυτου
73The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
73ορκον ον ωμοσεν προσ αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων του δουναι ημιν
74That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
74αφοβωσ εκ χειροσ των εχθρων ημων ρυσθεντασ λατρευειν αυτω
75In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
75εν οσιοτητι και δικαιοσυνη ενωπιον αυτου πασασ τασ ημερασ τησ ζωησ ημων
76And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
76και συ παιδιον προφητησ υψιστου κληθηση προπορευση γαρ προ προσωπου κυριου ετοιμασαι οδουσ αυτου
77To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
77του δουναι γνωσιν σωτηριασ τω λαω αυτου εν αφεσει αμαρτιων αυτων
78Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
78δια σπλαγχνα ελεουσ θεου ημων εν οισ επεσκεψατο ημασ ανατολη εξ υψουσ
79To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
79επιφαναι τοισ εν σκοτει και σκια θανατου καθημενοισ του κατευθυναι τουσ ποδασ ημων εισ οδον ειρηνησ
80And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
80το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι και ην εν ταισ ερημοισ εωσ ημερασ αναδειξεωσ αυτου προσ τον ισραηλ
