34So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
35In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!
36Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;
37because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
38So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord's slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
39Then Mary quickly got ready and went into the hill country in those days, to a town of Judah,
40and entered the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.
