- Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth,
- to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
- And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."
- But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.
- The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
|
- "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.
- "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;
- and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end."
- Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?"
- The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.
|
- "And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month.
- "For nothing will be impossible with God."
- And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
- Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah,
- and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
|
- When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
- And she cried out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
- "And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
- "For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
- "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord."
|
- And Mary said: "My soul exalts the Lord,
- And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
- "For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.
- "For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.
- "AND HIS MERCY IS UPON GENERATION AFTER GENERATION TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
|
- "He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.
- "He has brought down rulers from their thrones, And has exalted those who were humble.
- "HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS; And sent away the rich empty-handed.
- "He has given help to Israel His servant, In remembrance of His mercy,
- As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and his descendants forever."
|
- And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.
