Luke 1:33-48

³³And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end.”

³⁴Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

³⁵And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you; therefore, also, that holy child which is to be born shall be called the Son of God.

³⁶And behold, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for she who was called barren.

³⁷For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

³⁸Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! May it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

³⁹Now Mary rose up in those days and traveled into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,

⁴⁰and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

⁴¹And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

⁴²Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

⁴³And why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴For behold, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the baby leaped for joy in my womb.

⁴⁵And blessed is she who has believed, because there shall be a fulfillment to the things having been spoken to her from the Lord.”

⁴⁶And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,

⁴⁷And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

⁴⁸Because He looked upon the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
