Introducción (1,1-4)
1 Muchos son los que han intentado escribir una historia coherente de los hechos que acaecieron entre nosotros, 2 tal y como nos los transmitieron quienes desde el principio fueron testigos presenciales y encargados de anunciar el mensaje. 3 Pues bien, muy ilustre Teófilo, después de investigar a fondo y desde sus orígenes todo lo sucedido, también a mí me ha parecido conveniente ponértelo por escrito ordenadamente, 4 para que puedas reconocer la autenticidad de la enseñanza que has recibido.
I.— RELATOS DE LA INFANCIA (1,5—2,52)
Anuncio del nacimiento de Juan el Bautista
5 Durante el reinado de Herodes en Judea, hubo un sacerdote llamado Zacarías, que pertenecía al grupo sacerdotal de Abías. La esposa de Zacarías, llamada Elisabet, pertenecía también a la descendencia de Aarón. 6 Ambos esposos eran rectos delante de Dios, intachables en el cumplimiento de todos los mandatos y disposiciones del Señor. 7 Eran los dos de edad muy avanzada y no tenían hijos, porque Elisabet era estéril.
8 Estando un día Zacarías ejerciendo el servicio sagrado conforme al orden establecido, 9 le tocó en suerte, según costumbre sacerdotal, entrar en el Templo a ofrecer el incienso. 10 Mientras ofrecía el incienso, una gran multitud de fieles permanecía fuera en oración. 11 En esto, un ángel del Señor se le apareció a la derecha del altar del incienso. 12 Zacarías, al verlo, se echó a temblar, lleno de miedo. 13 Pero el ángel le dijo:
— No tengas miedo, Zacarías. Dios ha escuchado tu oración, y tu mujer Elisabet te dará un hijo, al que llamarás Juan. 14 Tendrás una gran alegría y serán muchos los que también se alegrarán de su nacimiento, 15 porque será grande delante del Señor. No beberá vino ni otra bebida alcohólica cualquiera; estará lleno del Espíritu Santo aun antes de nacer 16 y hará que muchos israelitas vuelvan de nuevo al Señor su Dios. 17 Precederá al Señor con el espíritu y el poder de Elías, hará que los padres se reconcilien con los hijos y que los rebeldes recuperen la sensatez de los rectos, preparando así al Señor un pueblo bien dispuesto.
18 Zacarías dijo al ángel:
— Pero ¿cómo podré estar seguro de eso? Yo ya soy viejo y mi mujer tiene también muchos años.
19 El ángel le contestó:
— Yo soy Gabriel, el que está en la presencia de Dios. Él me envió a hablar contigo y comunicarte esta buena noticia. 20 Cuanto te he dicho se cumplirá en su momento oportuno; pero como no has dado crédito a mis palabras, vas a quedarte mudo y no volverás a hablar hasta el día en que tenga lugar todo esto.
21 Mientras tanto, la gente que esperaba a Zacarías estaba extrañada de que permaneciera tanto tiempo en el Templo. 22 Cuando por fin salió, al ver que no podía hablar, comprendieron que había tenido una visión en el Templo. Había quedado mudo y sólo podía expresarse por señas. 23 Una vez cumplido el tiempo de su servicio sacerdotal, Zacarías volvió a su casa. 24 Pasados unos días, Elisabet, su esposa, quedó embarazada y permaneció cinco meses sin salir de casa, pues decía: 25 “Al hacer esto conmigo, el Señor ha querido librarme de la vergüenza ante los demás”.
Anuncio del nacimiento de Jesús
26 Al sexto mes, el ángel Gabriel fue enviado por Dios a Nazaret, un pueblo de Galilea, 27 a visitar a una joven virgen llamada María, que estaba prometida en matrimonio a José, un varón descendiente del rey David. 28 El ángel entró en el lugar donde estaba María y le dijo:
— Alégrate, favorecida de Dios. El Señor está contigo.
29 María se quedó perpleja al oír estas palabras, preguntándose qué significaba aquel saludo. 30 Pero el ángel le dijo:
— No tengas miedo, María, pues Dios te ha concedido su gracia. 31 Vas a quedar embarazada, y darás a luz un hijo, al cual pondrás por nombre Jesús. 32 Un hijo que será grande, será Hijo del Altísimo. Dios, el Señor, le entregará el trono de su antepasado David, 33 reinará eternamente sobre la casa de Jacob y su reinado no tendrá fin.
34 María replicó al ángel:
— Yo no tengo relaciones conyugales con nadie; ¿cómo, pues, podrá sucederme esto?
35 El ángel le contestó:
— El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti y el poder del Dios Altísimo te envolverá. Por eso, el niño que ha de nacer será santo, será Hijo de Dios. 36 Mira, si no, a Elisabet, tu parienta: también ella va a tener un hijo en su ancianidad; la que consideraban estéril, está ya de seis meses, 37 porque para Dios no hay nada imposible. 38 María dijo:
— Yo soy la esclava del Señor. Que él haga conmigo como dices.
Entonces el ángel la dejó y se fue.
María visita a Elisabet
39 Por aquellos mismos días María se puso en camino y, a toda prisa, se dirigió a un pueblo de la región montañosa de Judá. 40 Entró en casa de Zacarías y saludó a Elisabet. 41 Y sucedió que, al oír Elisabet el saludo de María, el niño que llevaba en su vientre saltó de alegría. Elisabet quedó llena del Espíritu Santo, 42 y exclamó con gritos alborozados:
— ¡Dios te ha bendecido más que a ninguna otra mujer, y ha bendecido también al hijo que está en tu vientre! 43 Pero ¿cómo se me concede que la madre de mi Señor venga a visitarme? 44 Porque, apenas oí tu saludo, el niño saltó de alegría en mi vientre. 45 ¡Feliz tú, porque has creído que el Señor cumplirá las promesas que te ha hecho!
María alaba al Señor
46 Entonces dijo María:
— Todo mi ser ensalza al Señor.
47 Mi corazón está lleno de alegría
a causa de Dios, mi Salvador,
48 porque ha puesto sus ojos en mí
que soy su humilde esclava.
De ahora en adelante
todos me llamarán feliz,
49 pues ha hecho maravillas conmigo
aquel que es todopoderoso,
aquel cuyo nombre es santo
50 y que siempre tiene misericordia
de aquellos que le honran.
51 Con la fuerza de su brazo
destruyó los planes de los soberbios.
52 Derribó a los poderosos de sus tronos
y encumbró a los humildes.
53 Llenó de bienes a los hambrientos
y despidió a los ricos con las manos vacías.
54 Se desveló por el pueblo de Israel, su siervo,
acordándose de mostrar misericordia,
55 conforme a la promesa de valor eterno
que hizo a nuestros antepasados,
a Abrahán y a todos sus descendientes.
56 María se quedó unos tres meses con Elisabet, y luego regresó a su casa.
Nacimiento de Juan
57 Cuando se cumplió el tiempo de dar a luz, Elisabet tuvo un hijo. 58 Sus vecinos y parientes se enteraron de este gran don que el Señor, en su misericordia, le había concedido, y acudieron a felicitarla. 59 A los ocho días del nacimiento llevaron a circuncidar al niño. Todos querían que se llamase Zacarías como su padre; 60 pero la madre dijo:
— No, su nombre ha de ser Juan.
61 Ellos, entonces, le hicieron notar:
— Nadie se llama así en tu familia.
62 Así que se dirigieron al padre y le preguntaron por señas qué nombre quería poner al niño. 63 Zacarías pidió una tablilla de escribir y puso en ella: “Su nombre es Juan”, con lo que todos se quedaron asombrados. 64 En aquel mismo momento, Zacarías recuperó el habla y comenzó a alabar a Dios, 65 de modo que los vecinos que estaban viendo lo que pasaba se llenaron de temor. Todos estos acontecimientos se divulgaron por toda la región montañosa de Judea. 66 Y cuantos oían hablar de lo sucedido, se quedaban muy pensativos y se preguntaban: “¿Qué va a ser este niño?”. Porque era evidente que el Señor estaba con él.
La profecía de Zacarías
67 Zacarías, el padre de Juan, quedó lleno del Espíritu Santo y habló proféticamente diciendo:
68 ¡Bendito sea el Señor, el Dios de Israel,
que ha venido a auxiliar
y a dar la libertad a su pueblo!
69 Nos ha suscitado un poderoso salvador
de entre los descendientes de su siervo David.
70 Esto es lo que había prometido desde antiguo
por medio de sus santos profetas:
71 que nos salvaría de nuestros enemigos
y del poder de los que nos odian,
72 mostrando así su compasión
con nuestros antepasados
y acordándose de cumplir su santa alianza.
73 Y este es el firme juramento
que hizo a nuestro padre Abrahán:
74 que nos libraría de nuestros enemigos,
para que, sin temor alguno, le sirvamos
75 santa y rectamente en su presencia
a lo largo de toda nuestra vida.
76 En cuanto a ti, hijo mío,
serás profeta del Dios Altísimo,
porque irás delante del Señor
para preparar su venida
77 y anunciar a su pueblo la salvación
mediante el perdón de los pecados.
78 Y es que la misericordia entrañable de nuestro Dios,
nos trae de lo alto un nuevo amanecer
79 para llenar de luz a los que viven
en oscuridad y sombra de muerte,
para guiar nuestros pasos por caminos de paz.
80 El niño creció y su espíritu se fortaleció. Y estuvo viviendo en lugares desiertos hasta el día en que se presentó ante el pueblo de Israel.

The Dedication to Theophilus
1 Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled[a] among us,(A) 2 just as the original eyewitnesses(B) and servants of the word(C) handed them down to us. 3 So it also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable(D) Theophilus,(E) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.[b](F)
Gabriel Predicts John’s Birth
5 In the days of King Herod(G) of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah’s division(H) named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 Both were righteous in God’s sight,(I) living without blame(J) according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord. 7 But they had no children because Elizabeth could not conceive, and both of them were well along in years.(K)
8 When his division was on duty(L) and he was serving as priest before God, 9 it happened that he was chosen by lot,(M) according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense.(N) 10 At the hour of incense the whole assembly of the people was praying outside. 11 An angel of the Lord(O) appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.(P) 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and overcome with fear.(Q) 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid,(R) Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard.(S) Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.(T) 14 There will be joy and delight for you, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or beer.(U) He will be filled with the Holy Spirit(V) while still in his mother’s womb.(W) 16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.(X) 17 And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children,(Y) and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.”(Z)
18 “How can I know this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel,(AA) who stands in the presence of God,(AB) and I was sent to speak to you and tell you this good news. 20 Now listen. You will become silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah, amazed that he stayed so long in the sanctuary. 22 When he did come out, he could not speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He was making signs to them(AC) and remained speechless. 23 When the days of his ministry were completed, he went back home.
24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for five months. She said, 25 “The Lord has done this for me. He has looked with favor in these days to take away my disgrace(AD) among the people.”
Gabriel Predicts Jesus’s Birth
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel(AE) was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,(AF) 27 to a virgin engaged[c](AG) to a man named Joseph, of the house of David.(AH) The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you.”[d] 29 But she was deeply troubled(AI) by this statement, wondering what kind of greeting this could be. 30 Then the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary,(AJ) for you have found favor with God.(AK) 31 Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.(AL) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High,(AM) and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.(AN) 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob(AO) forever, and his kingdom will have no end.” (AP)
34 Mary asked the angel, “How can this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man?” [e]
35 The angel replied to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you,(AQ) and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.(AR) 36 And consider your relative Elizabeth—even she has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called childless. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”(AS)
38 “See, I am the Lord’s servant,” said Mary. “May it happen to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
Mary’s Visit to Elizabeth
39 In those days Mary set out and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah 40 where she entered Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped inside her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.(AT) 42 Then she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and your child will be blessed![f] 43 How could this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For you see, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill what he has spoken to her!”
Mary’s Praise
46 And Mary said:
My soul magnifies the Lord,(AU)
47 and my spirit rejoices(AV) in God my Savior,(AW)
48 because he has looked with favor
on the humble condition of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations
will call me blessed,(AX)
49 because the Mighty One(AY)
has done great things for me,(AZ)
and his name(BA) is holy.
50 His mercy is from generation to generation(BB)
on those who fear him.
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm;(BC)
he has scattered the proud
because of the thoughts of their hearts;(BD)
52 he has toppled the mighty from their thrones
and exalted the lowly.(BE)
53 He has satisfied the hungry with good things(BF)
and sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering his mercy
55 to Abraham and his descendants[g] forever,(BG)
just as he spoke to our ancestors.
56 And Mary stayed with her about three months; then she returned to her home.
The Birth and Naming of John
57 Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she had a son. 58 Then her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her his great mercy,(BH) and they rejoiced with her.
59 When they came to circumcise the child on the eighth day,(BI) they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father. 60 But his mother responded, “No. He will be called John.”(BJ)
61 Then they said to her, “None of your relatives has that name.” 62 So they motioned to his father(BK) to find out what he wanted him to be called. 63 He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed. 64 Immediately his mouth was opened(BL) and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. 65 Fear came on all those who lived around them, and all these things were being talked about throughout the hill country of Judea. 66 All who heard about him(BM) took it to heart, saying, “What then will this child become?” For, indeed, the Lord’s hand was with him.
Zechariah’s Prophecy
67 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(BN) and prophesied:(BO)
68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel,(BP)
because he has visited
and provided redemption for his people.(BQ)
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us(BR)
in the house of his servant David,(BS)
70 just as he spoke by the mouth
of his holy prophets in ancient times;(BT)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of those who hate us.
72 He has dealt mercifully with our ancestors(BU)
and remembered his holy covenant(BV)—
73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham,(BW)
to grant that we,
74 having been rescued
from the hand of our enemies,
would serve him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness
in his presence all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called
a prophet of the Most High,(BX)
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare his ways,(BY)
77 to give his people knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins.(BZ)
78 Because of our God’s merciful compassion,
the dawn from on high(CA) will visit us
79 to shine on those who live in darkness
and the shadow of death,(CB)
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 The child grew up and became strong in spirit,[h](CC) and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

Introduction(A)
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first(B) were eyewitnesses(C) and servants of the word.(D) 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account(E) for you, most excellent(F) Theophilus,(G) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.(H)
The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea(I) there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah;(J) his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.(K) 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,(L) 9 he was chosen by lot,(M) according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.(N) 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.(O)
11 Then an angel(P) of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.(Q) 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.(R) 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid,(S) Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.(T) 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,(U) 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink,(V) and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit(W) even before he is born.(X) 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord,(Y) in the spirit and power of Elijah,(Z) to turn the hearts of the parents to their children(AA) and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”(AB)
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this?(AC) I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”(AD)
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel.(AE) I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak(AF) until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs(AG) to them but remained unable to speak.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace(AH) among the people.”
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel(AI) to Nazareth,(AJ) a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,(AK) a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,(AL) Mary; you have found favor with God.(AM) 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.(AN) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.(AO) The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,(AP) 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom(AQ) will never end.”(AR)
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you,(AS) and the power of the Most High(AT) will overshadow you. So the holy one(AU) to be born will be called[b] the Son of God.(AV) 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child(AW) in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”(AX)
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,(AY) 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.(AZ) 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women,(BA) and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord(BB) should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary’s Song(BC)
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord(BD)
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,(BE)
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.(BF)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,(BG)
49 for the Mighty One has done great things(BH) for me—
holy is his name.(BI)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.(BJ)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;(BK)
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.(BL)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.(BM)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things(BN)
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful(BO)
55 to Abraham and his descendants(BP) forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
The Birth of John the Baptist
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise(BQ) the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”(BR)
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs(BS) to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”(BT) 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak,(BU) praising God. 65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea(BV) people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.(BW)
Zechariah’s Song
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(BX) and prophesied:(BY)
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(BZ)
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.(CA)
69 He has raised up a horn[c](CB) of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David(CC)
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),(CD)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors(CE)
and to remember his holy covenant,(CF)
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:(CG)
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him(CH) without fear(CI)
75 in holiness and righteousness(CJ) before him all our days.
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet(CK) of the Most High;(CL)
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,(CM)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,(CN)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun(CO) will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,(CP)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”(CQ)
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[d];(CR) and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
