[1:26] In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
[1:27] to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
[1:28] And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”
[1:29] But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.
[1:30] And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
[1:31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
[1:32] He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
[1:33] and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
[1:34] And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
[1:35] And the angel answered her, “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.
[1:36] And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
[1:37] For nothing will be impossible with God.”
[1:38] And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
