Luke - ch 1 v 41 - 60
- And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
- And she cried out with a loud voice, 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 to me?
- For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
- And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
- And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
- And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
- Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
- Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
- And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
- He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
- He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
- He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
- He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
- As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
- And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
- Now Elizabeth's full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
- And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
- And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father's name Zachary.
- And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
