Luke 1:26-56

26

InG1722 theG3588 sixthG1623 monthG3376, GodG2316 sentG649 theG3588 angelG32 GabrielG1043 toG1519 a townG4172 in GalileeG1056 calledG3686 NazarethG3478, 27toG4314 a virginG3933 pledged in marriageG3423 to a manG435 namedG3686 JosephG2501, who was ofG1537 the houseG3624 of DavidG1138. AndG2532 theG3588 virgin’sG3933 nameG3686 was MaryG3137. 28The angel appearedG1525 toG4314 herG846 and saidG2036, “GreetingsG5463,1 you who are highly favoredG5487! TheG3588 LordG2962 is withG3326 youG4771.2”

29

Mary was greatly troubledG1298 atG1909 his wordsG3056 andG2532 wonderedG1260 what kindG4217 ofG3588 greetingG783 thisG3778 might beG1510. 30SoG2532 theG3588 angelG32 toldG2036 herG846, “Do notG3361 be afraidG5399, MaryG3137, forG1063 you have foundG2147 favorG5485 withG3844 GodG2316. 31BeholdG2532G2400, you will conceiveG4815G1722G1064 andG2532 give birth toG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 you are to giveG2564 HimG846 theG3588 nameG3686 JesusG2424. 32HeG3778 will beG1510 greatG3173 andG2532 will be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the Most HighG5310. TheG3588 LordG2962 GodG2316 will giveG1325 HimG846 theG3588 throneG2362 of HisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138, 33andG2532 He will reignG936 overG1909 theG3588 houseG3624 of JacobG2384 foreverG1519G3588G165. HisG846 kingdomG932 willG1510 neverG3756 endG5056!”

“HowG4459 can this beG3778G1510,” MaryG3137 askedG2036 theG3588 angelG32, “sinceG1893 I am a virginG3756G1097G435?”

35TheG3588 angelG32 repliedG611G2036G846, “The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will comeG1904 uponG1909 youG4771, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the Most HighG5310 will overshadowG1982 youG4771. SoG1352G2532 theG3588 Holy OneG40 to be bornG10803 will be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 36LookG2400, evenG2532 ElizabethG1665 yourG4771 relativeG4773 has conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 inG1722 herG846 old ageG1094, andG2532 she whoG3588 was calledG2564 barrenG4723 isG1510 in herG846 sixthG1623 monthG3376. 37ForG3754 noG3756 wordG4487 fromG3844 GodG2316 will everG3956 failG101.4”

38“I am theG3588 Lord’sG2962 servantG1399,” MaryG3137 answeredG2036. “May it happenG1096 to meG1473 according toG2596 yourG4771 wordG4487.” ThenG2532 theG3588 angelG32 leftG565G575 herG846.

39

InG1722 thoseG3778 daysG2250 MaryG3137 got readyG450 and hurriedG4198G3326G4710 toG1519 a townG4172 inG1519 theG3588 hill countryG3714 of JudahG2448, 40where she enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 homeG3624 of ZechariahG2197 andG2532 greetedG782 ElizabethG1665.

41

WhenG1096G5613 ElizabethG1665 heardG191 Mary’sG3137 greetingG783, theG3588 babyG1025 leapedG4640 inG1722 herG846 wombG2836, andG2532 ElizabethG1665 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 42In a loudG3173 voiceG2906 she exclaimedG400G2532G2036, “Blessed areG2127 youG4771 amongG1722 womenG1135, andG2532 blessed isG2127 theG3588 fruitG2590 ofG3588 yourG4771 wombG2836! 43AndG2532 whyG4159 am IG1473 soG3778 honored, thatG2443 theG3588 motherG3384 ofG3588 myG1473 LordG2962 should comeG2064 toG4314 meG1473? 44ForG1063 as soonG2400 asG5613 theG3588 soundG5456 ofG3588 yourG4771 greetingG783 reachedG1096G1519 myG1473 earsG3775, theG3588 babyG1025 inG1722 myG1473 wombG2836 leapedG4640 forG1722 joyG20. 45BlessedG3107 is she whoG3588 has believedG4100 thatG3754 the Lord’sG2962 wordG3588G2980 to herG846 will beG1510 fulfilledG5050.”

46ThenG2532 MaryG3137 saidG2036:

MaryG3137 stayedG3306 withG4862 Elizabeth for aboutG5613 threeG5140 monthsG3376 and thenG2532 returnedG5290 homeG1519G846G3588G3624.
