Luke 1: 26 - 38
|
| 26
|
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from 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; and the virgin's name was Mary.
|
| 28
|
And he came to her and said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!"
|
| 29
|
But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.
|
| 30
|
And 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 bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
|
| 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,
|
| 33
|
and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end."
|
| 34
|
And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?"
|
| 35
|
And
the angel said to 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.
|
| 36
|
And
behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a
son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
|
| 37
|
For with God nothing will be impossible."
|
| 38
|
And
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me
according to your word." And the angel departed from her. |
