29 And when she had heard (this), she was troubled in his word (or she was troubled by his words), and thought what manner salutation this was.
30 And the angel said to her, Dread thou not, Mary, (or Fear not, Mary), for thou hast found grace with God.
31 Lo! thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32 This shall be great or He shall be great, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give to him the seat of David, his father, (or and the Lord God shall give him the throne of his father David),
33 and he shall reign in the house of Jacob into without end, and of his realm shall be none end (or and there shall be no end to his Kingdom).
34 And Mary said to the angel, On what manner shall this thing be done, for I know not (a) man? or for I know no man?
35 And the angel answered, and said to her, The Holy Ghost shall come from above into thee, and the virtue of the Highest shall overshadow thee, (or The Holy Spirit shall come from above upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee); and therefore that holy thing that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.
36 And lo! Elisabeth, thy cousin, and she also hath conceived a son in her old (age), and this month is the sixth to her that is called barren;
37 for every word shall not be impossible with God. (for nothing is impossible with God.)
38 And Mary said, Lo! the handmaid of the Lord or Lo! the handmaiden of the Lord; be it done to me after thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary rose up in those days, and went with haste into the mountains or into the hilly places, into a city of Judea.
40 And she entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elisabeth.
41 And it was done, as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the young child in her womb gladded. And Elisabeth was full-filled with the Holy Ghost, or And Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost, (or And Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit),
42 and cried with a great voice (or and cried with a loud voice), and said, Blessed be thou among women, and blessed be the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whereof is this thing to me, that the mother of my Lord come to me?
44 For lo! as the voice of thy salutation was made in mine ears, the young child gladded in joy in my womb or the young child gladded with joy in my womb.
45 And blessed be thou, that hast believed, for those things that be said of the Lord to thee, shall be perfectly done. And blessed be thou, that hast believed, for those things that be said to thee from the Lord, shall be perfectly done.
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
47 and my spirit hath gladded in God, mine health or mine health-giver. (and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my salvation.)
48 For he hath beheld the meekness of his handmaid or the meekness of his handmaiden. For lo! (because) of this all generations shall say that I am blessed, or Lo! forsooth of this (or because of this) all generations shall say me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and his name is holy.
50 And his mercy is from kindred into kindreds, to men that dread him (or to those who have fearful reverence for him).
51 He made might in his arm, he scattered proud men with the thought of his heart.
52 He put down mighty men from their seats, and enhanced meek men. (He brought down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted, or raised up, the humble.)
53 He hath full-filled hungry men with goods or He hath filled hungry men with good things, and he hath left rich men void.
54 He, having mind of his mercy, took Israel, his child; (He, remembering his kindness, helped his servant Israel;)
55 as he hath spoken to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, into worlds (or forever).
56 And Mary dwelled with her, as it were three months, and turned again into her house. (And Mary remained with her for three months, and then returned to her house.)
57 But the time of bearing child was fulfilled to Elisabeth, and she bare a son.
58 And the neighbours and the cousins of her heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her; and they thanked him or and they together joyed to her, (or with her).
59 And it was done in the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, by the name of his father. (And it was done on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zechariah, after his father’s name.)
60 And his mother answered, and said, Nay, but he shall be called John.
61 And they said to her, For no man is in thy kindred, that is called by this name.
