Luke - ch 1 v 41 - 60
- It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
- She called out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
- Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
- For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
- Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!"
- Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
- My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
- for he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
- For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
- His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
- He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
- He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.
- He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
- He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
- As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever."
- Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
- Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
- Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
- It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father.
- His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
