Elisabeth

In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.

And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age.

But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.

And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying,

And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren.

And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.

And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.

Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne.
