إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 80-67:1
إِمْتَلأَ زَكَرِيَّا مِنَ الرُّوحِ القُدُس، فَتَنبَّأَ قائِلاً
تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ، إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيل، لأَنَّهُ ٱفْتَقَدَ شَعْبَهُ وٱفْتَدَاه
وأَقَامَ لنَا قُوَّةَ خَلاصٍ في بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ فَتَاه
كمَا تَكَلَّمَ بِفَمِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ القِدِّيسِينَ مُنْذُ القَدِيم
لِيُخَلِّصَنَا مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا، ومِنْ أَيْدي جَمِيعِ مُبغِضِينَا
ويَصْنَعَ رَحْمَةً مَعَ آبَائِنَا، ويَذْكُرَ عَهْدَهُ المُقَدَّس
ذاكَ القَسَمَ الَّذي أَقسَمَهُ لإِبرَاهِيمَ أَبِينَا، بِأَنْ يُنْعِمَ عَلَينا
وقَدْ نَجَوْنَا مِنْ أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِنَا، أَنْ نَعبُدَهُ بِلا خَوْف
بِالقَدَاسَةِ والبِرِّ، في حَضْرَتِهِ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حيَاتِنَا
وأَنْتَ، أَيُّهَا الصَّبِيّ، نَبِيَّ العَلِيِّ تُدْعَى، لأَنَّكَ تَسِيرُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِ الرَّبِّ لِتُعِدَّ طُرُقَهُ
وتُعَلِّمَ شَعْبَهُ الخَلاصَ بِمَغْفِرَةِ خَطَايَاهُم
في أَحشَاءِ رَحْمَةِ إِلهِنَا، الَّتي بِهَا ٱفْتَقَدَنَا المُشْرِقُ مِنَ العَلاء
لِيُضِيءَ على الجَالِسِينَ في ظُلْمَةِ المَوْتِ وظِلالِهِ، ويَهْدِيَ خُطَانَا إِلى طَرِيقِ السَّلام
وكَانَ الصَّبيُّ يَكْبُرُ ويَتَقَوَّى في الرُّوح. وكانَ في البَرارِي إِلى يَوْمِ ظُهُورِهِ لإِسْرَائِيل
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1:26-38.
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her in reply, “The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
