寫給提阿非羅
1提阿非羅大人哪,有好些人提筆作書,述說在我們中間所成就的事,是照傳道的人從起初親眼看見又傳給我們的。
2【併入上節】
3這些事我既從起頭都詳細考察了,就定意要按著次序寫給你,
4使你知道所學之道都是確實的。

預言施洗約翰的誕生

5當猶太王希律的時候,亞比雅班裡有一個祭司,名叫撒迦利亞;他妻子是亞倫的後人,名叫伊利莎白。
6他們二人在 神面前都是義人,遵行主的一切誡命禮儀,沒有可指摘的,
7只是沒有孩子;因為伊利莎白不生育,兩個人又年紀老邁了。

James Tissot – Portrait of Zacharias and Elizabeth (Portrait de Zacharie et d’Elisabeth)(1886~96)(Public Domain, Brooklyn Museum)

8撒迦利亞按班次在 神面前供祭司的職分,
9照祭司的規矩掣籤,得進主殿燒香。
10燒香的時候,眾百姓在外面禱告。
11有主的使者站在香壇的右邊,向他顯現。
12撒迦利亞看見,就驚慌害怕。
13天使對他說:「撒迦利亞,不要害怕,因為你的祈禱已經被聽見了。你的妻子伊利莎白要給你生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫約翰。
14你必歡喜快樂;有許多人因他出世,也必喜樂。
15他在主面前將要為大,淡酒濃酒都不喝,從母腹裡就被聖靈充滿了。
16他要使許多以色列人回轉,歸於主─他們的 神。
17他必有以利亞的心志能力,行在主的前面,叫為父的心轉向兒女,叫悖逆的人轉從義人的智慧,又為主預備合用的百姓。」
18撒迦利亞對天使說:「我憑著甚麼可知道這事呢?我已經老了,我的妻子也年紀老邁了。」
19天使回答說:「我是站在 神面前的加百列,奉差而來對你說話,將這好信息報給你。

21百姓等候撒迦利亞,詫異他許久在殿裡。
22及至他出來,不能和他們說話,他們就知道他在殿裡見了異象;因為他直向他們打手式,竟成了啞巴。
23他供職的日子已滿,就回家去了。
24這些日子以後,他的妻子伊利莎白懷了孕,就隱藏了五個月,
25說:「主在眷顧我的日子,這樣看待我,要把我在人間的羞恥除掉。」

預言耶穌的降生

26到了第六個月,天使加百列奉 神的差遣往加利利的一座城去(這城名叫拿撒勒),
27到一個童女那裡,是已經許配大衛家的一個人,名叫約瑟。童女的名字叫馬利亞;

James Tissot – The Holy Virgin in Her Youth (La sainte vierge jeune)(1886~96)(Public Domain, Brooklyn Museum)

28天使進去,對她說:「蒙大恩的女子,我問你安,主和你同在了!」
29馬利亞因這話就很驚慌,又反覆思想這樣問安是甚麼意思。
30天使對她說:「馬利亞,不要怕!你在 神面前已經蒙恩了。
31你要懷孕生子,可以給他起名叫耶穌。
32他要為大,稱為至高者的兒子;主 神要把他祖大衛的位給他。
33他要作雅各家的王,直到永遠;他的國也沒有窮盡。」
34馬利亞對天使說:「我沒有出嫁,怎麼有這事呢?」
35天使回答說:「聖靈要臨到你身上,至高者的能力要蔭庇你,因此所要生的聖者必稱為 神的兒子(或譯:所要生的,必稱為聖,稱為 神的兒子)。
36況且你的親戚伊利莎白,在年老的時候也懷了男胎,就是那素來稱為不生育的,現在有孕六個月了。
37因為,出於 神的話,沒有一句不帶能力的。」
38馬利亞說:「我是主的使女,情願照你的話成就在我身上。」天使就離開她去了。

馬利亞訪問伊利莎白

39那時候,馬利亞起身,急忙往山地裡去,來到猶大的一座城;
40進了撒迦利亞的家,問伊利莎白安。
41伊利莎白一聽馬利亞問安,所懷的胎就在腹裡跳動。伊利莎白且被聖靈充滿,
42高聲喊著說:「你在婦女中是有福的!你所懷的胎也是有福的!
43我主的母到我這裡來,這是從哪裡得的呢?
44因為你問安的聲音一入我耳,我腹裡的胎就歡喜跳動。
45這相信的女子是有福的!因為主對她所說的話都要應驗。」

馬利亞的尊主頌

46馬利亞說:我心尊主為大;
47我靈以 神我的救主為樂;
48因為他顧念他使女的卑微;從今以後,萬代要稱我有福。
49那有權能的,為我成就了大事;他的名為聖。
50他憐憫敬畏他的人,直到世世代代。
51他用膀臂施展大能;那狂傲的人正心裡妄想就被他趕散了。
52他叫有權柄的失位,叫卑賤的升高;
53叫飢餓的得飽美食,叫富足的空手回去。
54他扶助了他的僕人以色列,
55為要記念亞伯拉罕和他的後裔,施憐憫直到永遠,正如從前對我們列祖所說的話。
56馬利亞和伊利莎白同住,約有三個月,就回家去了。

59到了第八日,他們來要給孩子行割禮,並要照他父親的名字叫他撒迦利亞。
60他母親說:「不可!要叫他約翰。」
61他們說:「你親族中沒有叫這名字的。」
62他們就向他父親打手式,問他要叫這孩子甚麼名字。
63他要了一塊寫字的板,就寫上,說:「他的名字是約翰。」他們便都希奇。
64撒迦利亞的口立時開了,舌頭也舒展了,就說出話來,稱頌 神。
65周圍居住的人都懼怕;這一切的事就傳遍了猶太的山地。
66凡聽見的人都將這事放在心裡,說:「這個孩子將來怎麼樣呢?因為有主與他同在。」

撒迦利亞的預言

67他父親撒迦利亞被聖靈充滿了,就預言說:
68主─以色列的 神是應當稱頌的!因他眷顧他的百姓,為他們施行救贖,
69在他僕人大衛家中,為我們興起了拯救的角,
70正如主藉著從創世以來聖先知的口所說的話,
71拯救我們脫離仇敵和一切恨我們之人的手,
72向我們列祖施憐憫,記念他的聖約─
73就是他對我們祖宗亞伯拉罕所起的誓─
74叫我們既從仇敵手中被救出來,
75就可以終身在他面前,坦然無懼地用聖潔、公義事奉他。
76孩子啊!你要稱為至高者的先知;因為你要行在主的前面,預備他的道路,
77叫他的百姓因罪得赦,就知道救恩。
78因我們 神憐憫的心腸,叫清晨的日光從高天臨到我們,
79要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裡的人,把我們的腳引到平安的路上。
80那孩子漸漸長大,心靈強健,住在曠野,直到他顯明在以色列人面前的日子。
