Luke
1:26-38
26
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel
was sent from God to a town of Galilee
called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin
betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the
house of David, and the virgin's name
was Mary. 28 And coming to her, he said,
"Hail,
favored one! The Lord is with you."
29 But she was greatly troubled at what
was said and pondered what sort of
greeting this might be. 30 Then the
angel said to her, "Do not be
afraid, Mary, for you have found favor
with God. 31 Behold, you will conceive
in your womb and bear a son, and you
shall name him Jesus. 32 He will be
great and will be called Son of the Most
High, and the Lord God will give him the
throne of David his father, 33 and he
will rule over the house of Jacob
forever, and of his kingdom there will
be no end." 34 But Mary said to the
angel, "How can this be, since I
have no relations with a man?" 35
And the angel said to her in reply,
"The holy Spirit will come upon
you, and the power of the Most High will
overshadow you. Therefore the child to
be born will be called holy, the Son of
God. 36 And behold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a son in her old age,
and this is the sixth |

| month
for her who was called barren; 37 for
nothing will be impossible for
God." 38 Mary said, "Behold, I
am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be
done to me according to your word."
Then the angel departed from her. |
