Luke 1:40-54

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;

⁴⁹for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;

⁵⁰and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.

⁵¹He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.

⁵²He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.

⁵³The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.

⁵⁴He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
