Luke 1:1-9 ▼

1 For as moche as many have take in hand to compyle a treates of thoo thinges which are surely knowen amonge vs

2 even as they declared them vnto vs which from the beginnynge sawe them their selves and were ministers at the doyng:

3 I determined also assone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the beginnynge that then I wolde wryte vnto the good Theophilus:

4 that thou myghtest knowe the certente of thoo thinges wher of thou arte informed.

5 There was in the dayes of Herode kynge of Iurie a certayne prest named Zacharias of ye course of Abia. And his wyfe was of ye doughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth.

6 Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.

7 And they had no chylde because that Elizabeth was barre and booth were well stricken in age.

8 And it cam to passe as he executed the prestes office before god as his course came

9 (accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incece.
