Luke 1 : 26 - 38
Chapter 1
26 | Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
|
27 | to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
|
28 | And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"
|
29 | But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
|
30 | Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
|
31 | And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.
|
32 | He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.
|
33 | And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."
|
34 | Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"
|
35 | And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
|
36 | Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
|
37 | For with God nothing will be impossible."
|
38 | Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
