Luke 1:26 – 38
Luke 1:26
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a
city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David; and the virgin's name was Mary. ? 1
28
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art
thou among women.
29
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and
cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found
favour with God.
31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. ? 1
32 He
shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the
Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his
kingdom there shall be no end. > 1
34
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not
a man?
35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God.
36
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in
her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
