1. In the dedication Luke explains his method of researchLuk 1:1-41 Dear Theophilus: Many people have done their best to write a report of the things that have taken place among us.2 They wrote what we have been told by those who saw these things from the beginning and who proclaimed the message.3 And so, Your Excellency, because I have carefully studied all these matters from their beginning, I thought it would be good to write an orderlyaccount for you.4 I do this so that you will know the full truth about everything which you have been taught.2. In his introduction John pictures Christ as the Word (Logos)Joh 1:1-181 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 From the very beginning the Word was with God.3 Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.4 The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people.5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.6 God sent his messenger, a man named John,7 who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe.8 He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light.9 This was the real light---the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.10 The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him.11 He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him.12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children.13 They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father.14 The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.15 John spoke about him. He cried out, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'He comes after me, but he is greater than I am, because heexisted before I was born.' "16 Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another.17 God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

4. The annunciation of the birth of the Baptist to ZachariasLuk 1:5-255 During the time when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah. His wife's namewas Elizabeth; she also belonged to a priestly family.6 They both lived good lives in God's sight and obeyed fully all the Lord's laws and commands.7 They had no children because Elizabeth could not have any, and she and Zechariah were both very old.8 One day Zechariah was doing his work as a priest in the Temple, taking his turn in the daily service.9 According to the custom followed by the priests, he was chosen by lot to burn incense on the altar. So he went into the Temple of the Lord,10 while the crowd of people outside prayed during the hour when the incense was burned.11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar where the incense was burned.12 When Zechariah saw him, he was alarmed and felt afraid.13 But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You are to namehim John.14 How glad and happy you will be, and how happy many others will be when he is born!15 John will be great in the Lord's sight. He must not drink any wine or strong drink. From his very birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit,16 and he will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.17 He will go ahead of the Lord, strong and mighty like the prophet Elijah. He will bring fathers and children together again; he will turn disobedientpeople back to the way of thinking of the righteous; he will get the Lord's people ready for him."18 Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know if this is so? I am an old man, and my wife is old also."19 "I am Gabriel," the angel answered. "I stand in the presence of God, who sent me to speak to you and tell you this good news.20 But you have not believed my message, which will come true at the right time. Because you have not believed, you will be unable to speak; youwill remain silent until the day my promise to you comes true."21 In the meantime the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he was spending such a long time in the Temple.22 When he came out, he could not speak to them, and so they knew that he had seen a vision in the Temple. Unable to say a word, he made signs tothem with his hands.23 When his period of service in the Temple was over, Zechariah went back home.24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and did not leave the house for five months.25 "Now at last the Lord has helped me," she said. "He has taken away my public disgrace!"
5. The annunciation to the virgin Mary of the birth of JesusLuk 1:26-3826 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee named Nazareth.27 He had a message for a young woman promised in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of King David. Her name was Mary.28 The angel came to her and said, "Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and has greatly blessed you!"29 Mary was deeply troubled by the angel's message, and she wondered what his words meant.30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you.31 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was,33 and he will be the king of the descendants of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end!"34 Mary said to the angel, "I am a virgin. How, then, can this be?"35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and God's power will rest upon you. For this reason the holy child will be called the Sonof God.36 Remember your relative Elizabeth. It is said that she cannot have children, but she herself is now six months pregnant, even though she is very old.37 For there is nothing that God cannot do."38 "I am the Lord's servant," said Mary; "may it happen to me as you have said." And the angel left her.6.
