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:

“MyG1473 soulG5590 magnifiesG3170 theG3588 LordG2962,47andG2532 myG1473 spiritG4151 rejoicesG21 inG1909 GodG2316 myG1473 SaviorG4990!48ForG3754 He has looked with favorG1914 onG1909 theG3588 humble stateG5014 ofG3588 HisG846 servantG1399.FromG575 now onG3568 allG3956 generationsG1074 will call me blessedG1063G2400G1473G3106.49ForG3754 theG3588 Mighty OneG1415 has doneG4160 great thingsG3173 for meG1473.HolyG40 is HisG846 nameG3686.50HisG846 mercyG1656 extends to thoseG3588 who fearG5399 HimG846,from generationG1074 toG2532 generationG1074.51He has performedG4160 mighty deedsG2904 withG1722 HisG846 armG1023;He has scatteredG1287 those who are proudG5244in the thoughtsG1271 of theirG846 heartsG2588.52He has brought downG2507 rulersG1413 fromG575 their thronesG2362,but has exaltedG5312 the humbleG5011.53He has filledG1705 the hungryG3983 with good thingsG18,but has sentG1821 the rich awayG4147 emptyG2756.54He has helpedG482 HisG846 servantG3816 IsraelG2474,rememberingG3403 to be mercifulG1656,55asG2531 He promisedG2980 toG4314 ourG1473 fathersG3962,to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 descendantsG4690 foreverG1519G3588G165.”

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

57WhenG1161 theG3588 timeG5550 cameG4130 forG3588 ElizabethG1665 to have her childG846G5088, she gave birth toG1080 a sonG5207. 58HerG846 neighborsG4040 andG2532 relativesG4773 heardG191 thatG3754 the LordG2962 had shown her greatG3170G846G3326 mercyG1656, andG2532 they rejoiced withG4796 herG846.

59OnG1722 theG3588 eighthG3590 dayG2250, whenG1096 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 theG3588 childG3813, they were going to nameG2564 him afterG1909G3588G3686 hisG846 fatherG3962 ZechariahG2197. 60ButG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 repliedG611G2036, “NoG3780! He shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.”

61

They saidG2036 toG4314 herG846, “There isG1510 no oneG3762 amongG1537 yourG4771 relativesG4772 whoG3739 bearsG2564 thisG3778 nameG3686.” 62So they made signsG1770 toG3588 hisG846 fatherG3962 to find out whatG5101G302 he wantedG2309 to nameG2564 the child.

63

Zechariah asked forG154 a tabletG4093 and wroteG1125, “HisG846 nameG3686 isG1510 JohnG2491.” AndG2532 they were all amazedG3956G2296. 64ImmediatelyG3916 Zechariah’s mouthG4750 was openedG455 andG2532 hisG846 tongueG1100 was released, andG2532 he began to speakG2980, praisingG2127 GodG2316.

65

AllG3956 theirG3588 neighborsG4039G846 were filled withG1096G1909 aweG5401, andG2532 people throughoutG1722G3650 theG3588 hill countryG3714 of JudeaG2449 were talking aboutG1255 theseG3778 eventsG4487.
