The beginning of the everlasting Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God (which is being interpreted: Jesus Anointed, the Son of God).  

The beginning of the everlasting Proclamation of Jesus Christ the Son of God (which is being interpreted: Jesus Anointed, the Son of God).  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

"Zacka-rye-us" said to the angel, How can I be sure of this, for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years.

The angel answered him, I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak before the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.

The people were waiting for "Zacka-rye-us", and they marveled that he delayed in the Temple. When he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He continued making signs to them and remained mute. When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough because there was no room for them in the inn. As it is written in the law of Moses, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean. As it is written, She shall be in her impurity seven days. Whoever touches her shall be unclean before the evening. Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean. Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean before the evening. Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean before the evening. If it is on the bed or on anything she sits on, when he touches it he shall be unclean before the evening. And Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is among them, this is the law of Moses.

Now there were shepherds in the same country, staying in the field and keeping watch by night over their flock. Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. The angel said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people. For there is born to you today in David’s city a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.

Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.

As the people were in expectation and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ, the Anointed One, John answered them all, I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire, whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! Do not think to yourselves ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
