Luke 1:36-48

³⁶And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.

³⁷For nothing will be impossible with God.

³⁸And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

³⁹And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.

⁴⁰And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.

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

⁴²and cried out with a loud voice, 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 to me?

⁴⁴For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.

⁴⁵And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.

⁴⁶And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,

⁴⁷and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;

⁴⁸for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
