Luke - ch 1 v 41 - 60
- And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
- and spake 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 might come unto me?
- for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb;
- and happy `is' she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'
- And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord,
- And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,
- Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,
- For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy `is' His name,
- And His kindness `is' to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,
- He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
- He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
- The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,
- He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,
- As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.'
- And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
- And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son,
- and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
- And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
- and his mother answering said, `No, but he shall be called John.'
