Luke 1:26-56

26NowG1161 in the sixthG1623 monthG3376 the angelG32 GabrielG1043 was sentG649 from GodG2316 unto a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, namedG3686 NazarethG3478, 27to a virginG3933 betrothedG3423 to a manG435 whose nameG3686 was JosephG2501, of the houseG3624 of DavidG1138; and the virgin’sG3933 nameG3686 was MaryG3137. 28And he cameG1525 in unto her, and saidG3004, HailG5463, thou that art highly favored, the LordG2962 is with thee. 29But she wasG1510 greatly troubled at the sayingG3056, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might beG1510. 30And the angelG32 saidG3004 unto her, FearG5399 not, MaryG3137: for thou hast foundG2147 favorG5485 with GodG2316. 31And beholdG2400, thou shalt conceive in thy wombG1064, and bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, and shalt callG2564 his nameG3686 JESUSG2424. 32He shall beG1510 greatG3173, and shall beG1510 calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the MostG5310 HighG5310: and the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto him the throneG2362 of his fatherG3962 DavidG1138: 33and he shall reignG936 over the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 for ever; and of his kingdomG932 there shall beG1510 no endG5056. 34And MaryG3137 saidG3004 unto the angelG32, HowG4459 shall this beG1510, seeing I knowG1097 not a manG435? 35And the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto her, The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 shall comeG1904 upon thee, and the powerG1411 of the MostG5310 HighG5310 shall overshadowG1982 thee: wherefore alsoG2532 the holyG40 thing which is begottenG1080 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 36And beholdG2400, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she alsoG2532 hath conceived a sonG5207 in her old age; and this isG1510 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 with her that wasG1510 calledG2564 barrenG4723. 37For no word from GodG2316 shall be void of power. 38And MaryG3137 saidG3004, BeholdG2400, the handmaid of the LordG2962; be it unto me accordingG2596 to thy word. And the angelG32 departedG565 from her.

39And MaryG3137 aroseG450 in these daysG2250 and wentG4198 into the hillG3714 countryG3714 with haste, into a cityG4172 of JudahG2455; 40and enteredG1525 into the houseG3624 of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth. 41And it cameG1096 to passG1096, whenG5613 Elisabeth heardG191 the salutation of MaryG3137, the babe leapedG4640 in her wombG2836; and Elisabeth was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; 42and she lifted up her voice with a loudG3173 cry, and saidG3004, BlessedG2127 art thou among womenG1135, and blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of thy wombG2836. 43And whence is this to me, that the motherG3384 of my LordG2962 should comeG2064 unto me? 44For beholdG2400, whenG5613 the voiceG5456 of thy salutation cameG1096 into mineG1473 earsG3775, the babe leapedG4640 in my wombG2836 for joy. 45And blessed isG1510 she that believedG4100; for there shall beG1510 a fulfilment of the things which have beenG1510 spokenG2980 to her from the LordG2962. 46And MaryG3137 saidG3004,

My soulG5590 doth magnify the LordG2962,47And my spiritG4151 hath rejoicedG21 in GodG2316 my Saviour.48For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid:For beholdG2400, from henceforth all generationsG1074 shall call me blessed.49For he that is mightyG1415 hath done to me greatG3173 things;And holyG40 is his nameG3686.50And his mercyG1656 is unto generationsG1074 and generationsG1074On them that fearG5399 him.51He hath showed strengthG2904 with his armG1023;He hath scatteredG1287 the proud in the imagination of their heartG2588.52He hath put down princes from their thronesG2362,And hath exaltedG5312 them of low degree.53The hungryG3983 he hath filled with goodG18 thingsG18;And the richG4147 he hath sent emptyG2756 awayG1821.54He hath given helpG482 to IsraelG2474 his servantG3816,That he might rememberG3403 mercyG165655(As he spake unto our fathersG3962)Toward AbrahamG11 and his seedG4690 for ever.

56And MaryG3137 abode with her about threeG5140 monthsG3376, and returnedG5290 unto her houseG3624.
