Luke - ch 1 v 21 - 40
- And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple.
- And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
- And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.
- And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
- Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon `me', to take away my reproach among men.
- Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
- to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
- And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord `is' with thee.
- But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.
- And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
- And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
- He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
- and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
- And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
- And 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.
- And 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.
- For no word from God shall be void of power.
- And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
- And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
- and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
