And you shall have G2071 joy G5479 and gladness; G20 and many G4183 shall rejoice G5463 at G1909 his birth. G1083

For he shall be great G3173 in the sight G1799 of the Lord, G2962 and shall drink G4095 neither G3756 G3361 wine G3631 nor G2532 strong G4608 drink; G4608 and he shall be filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 even G2089 from his mother's G3384 womb. G2836

John G2491 answered, G611 saying G3004 to them all, G537 I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water; G5204 but one mightier G2478 than I comes, G2064 the lace G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to unloose: G3089 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and with fire: G4442

And said G2036 to them, Whoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 this G5124 child G3813 in my name G3686 receives G1209 me: and whoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 me receives G1209 him that sent G649 me: for he that is least G3398 among G1722 you all, G3956 the same G3778 shall be great. G3173

And he turned G4762 him to his disciples, G3101 and said G2036 privately, G2596 G2398 Blessed G3107 are the eyes G3788 which G3588 see G991 the things that you see: G991

For I tell G3004 you, that many G4183 prophets G4396 and kings G935 have desired G2309 to see G1492 those things which G3739 you see, G991 and have not seen G1492 them; and to hear G191 those things which G3739 you hear, G191 and have not heard G191 them.

Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, Among G1722 them that are born G1084 of women G1135 there has not risen G1453 a greater G3187 than John G2491 the Baptist: G910 notwithstanding he that is least G3398 in the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is greater G3187 than he.

But blessed G3107 are your G5216 eyes, G3788 for they see: G991 and your G5216 ears, G3775 for they hear. G191

For truly G281 I say G3004 to you, That many G4183 prophets G4396 and righteous G1342 men have desired G1939 to see G1492 those things which G3739 you see, G991 and have not seen G1492 them; and to hear G191 those things which G3739 you hear, G191 and have not heard G191 them.

To me, who am less G1647 than the least G1647 of all G3956 saints, G40 is this G3778 grace G5485 given, G1325 that I should preach G2097 among G1722 the Gentiles G1484 the unsearchable G421 riches G4149 of Christ; G5547

And to make G5461 all G3956 men see G5461 what G5101 is the fellowship G2842 of the mystery, G3466 which G3588 from the beginning of the world G165 has been hid G614 in God, G2316 who G3588 created G2936 all G3956 things by Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547

Whereof G3739 I am made G1096 a minister, G1249 according G2596 to the dispensation G3622 of God G2316 which G3588 is given G1325 to me for you, to fulfill G4137 the word G3056 of God; G2316

To whom G3739 God G2316 would G2309 make G1107 known G1107 what G5101 is the riches G4149 of the glory G1391 of this G5127 mystery G3466 among G1722 the Gentiles; G1484 which G3739 is Christ G5547 in you, the hope G1680 of glory: G1391

And these G3778 all, G3956 having obtained G3140 a good report G3140 through G1223 faith, G4102 received G2865 not the promise: G1860

God G2316 having provided G4265 some G5100 better G2909 thing for us, that they without G5565 us should not be made G5048 perfect. G5048

Of which G3739 salvation G4991 the prophets G4396 have inquired G1567 and searched G1830 diligently, who G3588 prophesied G4395 of the grace G5485 that should come to you:

To whom G3739 it was revealed, G601 that not to themselves, G1438 but to us they did minister G1247 the things, G846 which G3739 are now G3568 reported G312 to you by them that have preached G2097 the gospel G2097 to you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 sent G649 down from heaven; G3772 which G3739 things the angels G32 desire G1937 to look G3879 into.
