Luke 1:33-48

³³and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

³⁴And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

³⁵And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

³⁶And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren.

³⁷For no word from God shall be void of power.

³⁸And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

³⁹And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;

⁴⁰and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.

⁴¹And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;

⁴²and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

⁴³And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?

⁴⁴For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

⁴⁵And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.

⁴⁶And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

⁴⁸For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
