Luke 1: 26
- 38

| 26 |
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was
sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, |
| 27 |
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name
was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
|
| 28 |
And he came to her and said, "Hail, full of
grace, the Lord is with you!" |
| 29 |
But she was greatly troubled at the saying,
and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.
|
| 30 |
And the angel said to her, "Do not be
afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. |
| 31 |
And behold, you will conceive in your womb
and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. |
| 32 |
He will be great, and will be called the Son
of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father
David, |
| 33 |
and he will reign over the house of Jacob
for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end." |
| 34 |
And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this
be, since I have no husband?" |
| 35 |
And the angel said to her, "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.
|
| 36 |
And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her
old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was
called barren. |
| 37 |
For with God nothing will be impossible."
|
| 38 |
And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of
the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from
her.

In those days Mary arose and went with haste
into the hill country, to a city of Judah, |
| 40 |
and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and
greeted Elizabeth. |
| 41 |
And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of
Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
|
| 42 |
and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed
are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! |
| 43 |
And why is this granted me, that the mother
of my Lord should come to me? |
| 44 |
For behold, when the voice of your greeting
came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. |
| 45 |
And blessed is she who believed that there
would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."
|
| 46 |
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,
|
| 47 |
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
