(Luk 1:26) And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
(Luk 1:27) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
(Luk 1:28) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
(Luk 1:29) And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
(Luk 1:30) And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
(Luk 1:31) And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
(Luk 1:32) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
(Luk 1:33) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
(Luk 1:34) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
(Luk 1:35) And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
(Luk 1:36) And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
(Luk 1:37) For with God nothing shall be impossible.
(Luk 1:38) And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
(Luk 1:39) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
(Luk 1:40) And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
(Luk 1:41) And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
(Luk 1:42) And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
(Luk 1:43) And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
(Luk 1:44) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
(Luk 1:45) And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
(Luk 1:46) And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
(Luk 1:47) And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
(Luk 1:48) For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
(Luk 1:49) For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
(Luk 1:50) And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
