Luke - ch 1 v 41 - 60
- And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;
- and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed `art' thou among women, and blessed `is' the fruit of thy womb.
- And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?
- For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
- And blessed `is' she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
- And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
- And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
- For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
- For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.
- And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.
- He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
- He hath put down princes from `their' thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.
- The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away.
- He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy
- (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.
- And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
- Now Elisabeth's time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
- And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
- And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father.
- And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
