38Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.
39And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda,
40And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
41And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.
42And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.
43And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,
45And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.
46Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,
47And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.
48For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,
49Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.
50And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.
51Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.
52Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.
53Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.
54Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie
55(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer.
56And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house.
57Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
58And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.
59And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.
60But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.
61And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name.
62Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called.
63So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.
64And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God.
65Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea.
66And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him.
67Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,
70As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying,
71That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,
72That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,
73And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.
74Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,
75All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.
76And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,
77And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,
78Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,
79To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
80And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
