ForasmuchG1895 as manyG4183 have taken in handG2021 to set forth in orderG392 a declarationG1335 ofG4012 those thingsG4229 which are most surely believedG4135 amongG1722 usG2254,
EvenG2531 as they deliveredG3860 them unto usG2254, whichG3588 fromG575 the beginningG746 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG845, andG2532 ministersG5257 of the wordG3056;
It seemedG1380 good to me alsoG2504, having had perfectG199 understandingG3877 of all thingsG3956 from the very firstG509, to writeG1125 unto theeG4671 in orderG2517, most excellentG2903 TheophilusG2321,
ThatG2443 thou mightest knowG1921 the certaintyG803 ofG4012 those thingsG3056, whereinG3739 thou hast been instructedG2727.
There wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, the kingG935 of JudaeaG2449, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZachariasG2197, ofG1537 the courseG2183 of AbiaG7: andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 was ofG1537 the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, andG2532 herG846 nameG3686 was ElisabethG1665.
AndG1161 they wereG2258 bothG297 righteousG1342 beforeG1799 GodG2316, walkingG4198 inG1722 allG3956 the commandmentsG1785 andG2532 ordinancesG1345 of the LordG2962 blamelessG273.
AndG2532 theyG846 hadG2258 noG3756 childG5043, becauseG2530 that ElisabethG1665 wasG2258 barrenG4723, andG2532 theyG846 bothG297 wereG2258 now well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that whileG1722 heG846 executed the priest's officeG2407 beforeG1725 GodG2316 inG1722 the orderG5010 of hisG846 courseG2183,
AccordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priest's officeG2405, his lotG2975 was to burn incenseG2370 when he wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3485 of the LordG2962.
AndG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 wereG2258 prayingG4336 withoutG1854 at the timeG5610 of incenseG2368.
AndG1161 there appearedG3700 unto himG846 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 standingG2476 onG1537 the right sideG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368.
AndG2532 when ZachariasG2197 sawG1492 him, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1909 himG846.
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 thouG4671 shalt haveG2071 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG1083.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
AndG2532 ZachariasG2197 saidG2036 untoG4314 the angelG32, WherebyG2596+G5101 shall I knowG1097 thisG5124? forG1063 IG1473 amG1510 an old manG4246, andG2532 myG3450 wifeG1135 well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250+G846.
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeringG611 saidG2036 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 GabrielG1043, that standG3936 in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316; andG2532 am sentG649 to speakG2980 untoG4314 theeG4571, andG2532 to shewG2097 theeG4671 theseG5023 glad tidingsG2097.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thouG2071 shalt be dumbG4623, andG2532 notG3361 ableG1410 to speakG2980, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 these thingsG5023 shall be performedG1096, becauseG473+G3739 thou believestG4100 notG3756 myG3450 wordsG3056, whichG3748 shall be fulfilledG4137 inG1519 theirG846 seasonG2540.
AndG2532 the peopleG2992 waitedG2258+G4328 for ZachariasG2197, andG2532 marvelledG2296 thatG1722 heG846 tarried so longG5549 inG1722 the templeG3485.
AndG1161 when he came outG1831, he couldG1410 notG3756 speakG2980 unto themG846: andG2532 they perceivedG1921 thatG3754 he had seenG3708 a visionG3701 inG1722 the templeG3485: forG2532 heG846 beckonedG2258+G1269 unto themG846, andG2532 remainedG1265 speechlessG2974.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, as soon asG5613 the daysG2250 of hisG846 ministrationG3009 were accomplishedG4130, he departedG565 toG1519 his ownG846 houseG3624.
AndG1161 afterG3326 thoseG5025 daysG2250 hisG846 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 conceivedG4815, andG2532 hidG4032 herselfG1438 fiveG4002 monthsG3376, sayingG3004,
ThusG3779 hathG4160 the LordG2962 dealtG4160 with meG3427 inG1722 the daysG2250 whereinG3739 he looked onG1896 me, to take awayG851 myG3450 reproachG3681 amongG1722 menG444.
AndG1161 inG1722 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 the angelG32 GabrielG1043 was sentG649 fromG5259 GodG2316 untoG1519 a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, namedG3739+G3686 NazarethG3478,
ToG4314 a virginG3933 espousedG3423 to a manG435 whoseG3739 nameG3686 was JosephG2501, ofG1537 the houseG3624 of DavidG1138; andG2532 the virgin'sG3933 nameG3686 was MaryG3137.
AndG2532 the angelG32 came inG1525 untoG4314 herG846, and saidG2036, HailG5463, thou that art highly favouredG5487, the LordG2962 is withG3326 theeG4675: blessedG2127 art thouG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135. {highly…: or, graciously accepted, or, of much grace}
AndG1161 when she sawG1492 him, she was troubledG1298 atG1909 hisG846 sayingG3056, andG2532 cast in her mindG1260 what mannerG4217 of salutationG783 thisG3778 should beG1498.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto herG846, FearG5399 notG3361, MaryG3137: forG1063 thou hast foundG2147 favourG5485 withG3844 GodG2316.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thou shalt conceiveG4815 inG1722 thy wombG1064, andG2532 bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
HeG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173, andG2532 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the HighestG5310: andG2532 the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto himG846 the throneG2362 of hisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:
AndG2532 he shall reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 forG1519 everG165; andG2532 of hisG846 kingdomG932 there shall beG2071 noG3756 endG5056.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 MaryG3137 untoG4314 the angelG32, HowG4459 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071, seeingG1893 I knowG1097 notG3756 a manG435?
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thyG4675 cousinG4773 ElisabethG1665, sheG846 hathG4815 alsoG2532 conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 inG1722 herG846 old ageG1094: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 with herG846, whoG3588 was calledG2564 barrenG4723.
ForG3754 withG3844 GodG2316 nothingG3756+G3956+G4487 shall be impossibleG101.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 saidG2036, BeholdG2400 the handmaidG1399 of the LordG2962; be itG1096 unto meG3427 accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487. AndG2532 the angelG32 departedG565 fromG575 herG846.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 aroseG450 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, and wentG4198 intoG1519 the hill countryG3714 withG3326 hasteG4710, intoG1519 a cityG4172 of JudaG2448;
AndG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3624 of ZachariasG2197, andG2532 salutedG782 ElisabethG1665.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that, whenG5613 ElisabethG1665 heardG191 the salutationG783 of MaryG3137, the babeG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 herG846 wombG2836; andG2532 ElisabethG1665 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
AndG2532 she spake outG400 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG2036, BlessedG2127 art thouG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135, andG2532 blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of thyG4675 wombG2836.
AndG2532 whenceG4159 is thisG5124 to meG3427, thatG2443 the motherG3384 of myG3450 LordG2962 should comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165?
ForG1063, loG2400, as soon asG5613 the voiceG5456 of thyG4675 salutationG783 soundedG1096 inG1519 mineG3450 earsG3775, the babeG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 myG3450 wombG2836 forG1722 joyG20.
AndG2532 blessedG3107 is she that believedG4100: forG3754 there shall beG2071 a performanceG5050 of those things which were toldG2980 herG846 fromG3844 the LordG2962. {that…: or, which believed that there}
AndG2532 MaryG3137 saidG2036, MyG3450 soulG5590 doth magnifyG3170 the LordG2962,
AndG2532 myG3450 spiritG4151 hath rejoicedG21 inG1909 GodG2316 myG3450 SaviourG4990.
ForG3754 he hath regardedG1914+G1909 the low estateG5014 of hisG846 handmaidenG1399: forG1063, beholdG2400, fromG575 henceforthG3568 allG3956 generationsG1074 shall callG3106 meG3165 blessedG3106.
ForG3754 he that is mightyG1415 hath doneG4160 to meG3427 great thingsG3167; andG2532 holyG40 is hisG846 nameG3686.
AndG2532 hisG846 mercyG1656 is on them that fearG5399 himG846 fromG1519 generationG1074 to generationG1074.
He hath shewedG4160 strengthG2904 withG1722 hisG846 armG1023; he hath scatteredG1287 the proudG5244 in the imaginationG1271 of theirG846 heartsG2588.
He hath put downG2507 the mightyG1413 fromG575 their seatsG2362, andG2532 exaltedG5312 them of low degreeG5011.
He hath filledG1705 the hungryG3983 with good thingsG18; andG2532 the richG4147 he hath sentG1821 emptyG2756 awayG1821.
He hath holpenG482 hisG846 servantG3816 IsraelG2474, in remembranceG3415 of his mercyG1656;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 toG4314 ourG2257 fathersG3962, to AbrahamG11, andG2532 to hisG846 seedG4690 forG1519 everG165.
AndG1161 MaryG3137 abodeG3306 withG4862 herG846 aboutG5616 threeG5140 monthsG3376, andG2532 returnedG5290 toG1519 her ownG846 houseG3624.
NowG1161 Elisabeth'sG1665 fullG4130 timeG5550 cameG4130 that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088; andG2532 she brought forthG1080 a sonG5207.
AndG2532 her neighboursG4040 andG2532 herG846 cousinsG4773 heardG191 howG3754 the LordG2962 had shewed greatG3170 mercyG1656+G846 uponG3326 herG846; andG2532 they rejoicedG4796 with herG846.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that onG1722 the eighthG3590 dayG2250 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813; andG2532 they calledG2564 himG846 ZachariasG2197, afterG1909 the nameG3686 of hisG846 fatherG3962.
AndG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 answeredG611 and saidG2036, NotG3780 so; butG235 he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3762 ofG1722 thyG4675 kindredG4772 thatG3739 is calledG2564 by thisG5129 nameG3686.
AndG1161 they made signsG1770 to hisG846 fatherG3962, howG5101+G302 he would haveG2309 himG846 calledG2564.
AndG2532 he asked forG154 a writing tableG4093, and wroteG1125, sayingG3004, HisG846 nameG3686 isG2076 JohnG2491. AndG2532 they marvelledG2296 allG3956.
AndG1161 hisG846 mouthG4750 was openedG455 immediatelyG3916, andG2532 hisG846 tongueG1100 loosed, andG2532 he spakeG2980, and praisedG2127 GodG2316.
AndG2532 fearG5401 cameG1096 onG1909 allG3956 that dwelt round aboutG4039 themG846: andG2532 allG3956 theseG5023 sayingsG4487 were noised abroadG1255 throughoutG1722 allG3650 the hill countryG3714 of JudaeaG2449. {sayings: or, things}
AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191 them laid them upG5087 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 mannerG686 of childG3813 shallG2071 thisG5124 beG2071! AndG2532 the handG5495 of the LordG2962 wasG2258 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 hisG846 fatherG3962 ZachariasG2197 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 prophesiedG4395, sayingG3004,
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
AsG2531 he spakeG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396, whichG3588 have been sinceG575 the world beganG165:
That we should be savedG4991 fromG1537 ourG2257 enemiesG2190, andG2532 fromG1537 the handG5495 of allG3956 that hateG3404 usG2248;
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
The oathG3727 whichG3739 he swareG3660 toG4314 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11,
That he would grantG1325 unto usG2254, that we being deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the handG5495 of ourG2257 enemiesG2190 might serveG3000 himG846 without fearG870,
InG1722 holinessG3742 andG2532 righteousnessG1343 beforeG1799 himG846, allG3956 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 thouG4771, childG3813, shalt be calledG2564 the prophetG4396 of the HighestG5310: forG1063 thou shalt goG4313 beforeG4253 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 to prepareG2090 hisG846 waysG3598;
To giveG1325 knowledgeG1108 of salvationG4991 unto hisG846 peopleG2992 byG1722 the remissionG859 of theirG846 sinsG266, {by: or, for}
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
To give lightG2014 to them that sitG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 andG2532 in the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, to guideG2720 ourG2257 feetG4228 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.
AndG1161 the childG3813 grewG837, andG2532 waxed strongG2901 in spiritG4151, andG2532 wasG2258 inG1722 the desertsG2048 tillG2193 the dayG2250 of hisG846 shewingG323 untoG4314 IsraelG2474.

ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AmongG1722 those that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there isG2076 notG3762 a greaterG3187 prophetG4396 thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: butG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 greater thanG3187 heG846.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 breadG740 norG3383 drinkingG4095 wineG3631; andG2532 ye sayG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall defendH1598 them; and they shall devourH398, and subdueH3533 with slingH7050 stonesH68; and they shall drinkH8354, and make a noiseH1993 as through wineH3196; and they shall be filledH4390 like bowlsH4219, and as the cornersH2106 of the altarH4196. {with…: or, the stones of the sling} {be…: or, fill both the bowls, etc}
But thou art he that tookH1518 me out of the wombH990: thou didst make me hopeH982 when I was upon my mother'sH517 breastsH7699. {didst…: or, kept me in safety}
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When either manH376 or womanH802 shall separateH6381 themselves to vowH5087 a vowH5088 of a NazariteH5139, to separateH5144 themselves unto the LORDH3068: {to separate…: or, to make themselves Nazarites}
He shall separateH5144 himself from wineH3196 and strong drinkH7941, and shall drinkH8354 no vinegarH2558 of wineH3196, or vinegarH2558 of strong drinkH7941, neither shall he drinkH8354 any liquorH4952 of grapesH6025, nor eatH398 moistH3892 grapesH6025, or driedH3002.
All the daysH3117 of his separationH5145 shall he eatH398 nothing that is madeH6213 of the vineH3196 treeH1612, from the kernelsH2785 even to the huskH2085. {separation: or, Nazariteship} {vine…: Heb. vine of the wine}
AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669.
BeforeH2962 I formedH3335 thee in the bellyH990 I knewH3045 thee; and before thou camest forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 I sanctifiedH6942 thee, and I ordainedH5414 thee a prophetH5030 unto the nationsH1471. {ordained: Heb. gave}
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
Now therefore bewareH8104, I pray thee, and drinkH8354 not wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, and eatH398 not any uncleanH2931 thing:
For, lo, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and no razorH4177 shall comeH5927 on his headH7218: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from the wombH990: and he shall beginH2490 to deliverH3467 IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH559 her husbandH376, sayingH559, A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 unto me, and his countenanceH4758 was like the countenanceH4758 of an angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 terribleH3372: but I askedH7592 him not whence he was, neither toldH5046 he me his nameH8034:
ButG1161 PeterG4074, standing upG2476 withG4862 the elevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG669 unto themG846, Ye menG435 of JudaeaG2453, andG2532 allG537 ye that dwellG2730 at JerusalemG2419, beG2077 thisG5124 knownG1110 unto youG5213, andG2532 hearkenG1801 to myG3450 wordsG4487:
ForG1063 theseG3778 areG3184 notG3756 drunkenG3184, asG5613 yeG5210 supposeG5274, seeingG1063 it isG2076 but the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG2250.
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
ButG1161 whenG3753 it pleasedG2106 GodG2316, whoG3588 separatedG873 meG3165 fromG1537 myG3450 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 calledG2564 me byG1223 hisG846 graceG5485,
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to magnifyH1431 thee in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that, as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 norG3383 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140.
AndG2532 beG3182 notG3361 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, whereinG1722+G3739 isG2076 excessG810; butG235 be filledG4137 withG1722 the SpiritG4151;
On that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 magnifiedH1431 JoshuaH3091 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478; and they fearedH3372 him, as they fearedH3372 MosesH4872, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG1492? A prophetG4396? yeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, andG2532 moreG4055 than a prophetG4396.
ForG1063 thisG3778 isG2076 he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AmongG1722 them that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there hathG1453 notG3756 risenG1453 a greater thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: notwithstandingG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 greater thanG3187 heG846.
AndG1161 fromG575 the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 suffereth violenceG971, andG2532 the violentG973 takeG726 itG846 by forceG726. {suffereth…: or, is gotten by force, and they that thrust men}
ForG1063 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 the lawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye willG2309 receiveG1209 it, thisG846 isG2076 EliasG2243, whichG3588 was forG3195 to comeG2064.
He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
ButG1161 whereuntoG5101 shall I likenG3666 thisG5026 generationG1074? It isG2076 likeG3664 unto childrenG3808 sittingG2521 inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 callingG4377 unto theirG846 fellowsG2083,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, We have pipedG832 unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG3738 notG3756 dancedG3738; we have mournedG2354 unto youG5213, andG2532 ye haveG2875 notG3756 lamentedG2875.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 norG3383 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140.
The SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, BeholdG2400 a manG444 gluttonousG5314, andG2532 a winebibberG3630, a friendG5384 of publicansG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268. ButG2532 wisdomG4678 is justifiedG1344 ofG575 herG846 childrenG5043.
