Luke 1:26-56

26But in the sixthG1623 monthG3376, the angelG32 GabrielG1043 was sentG649 of 1GodG2316 to a cityG4172 of GalileeG1056, of which [the] nameG3686 [was] NazarethG3478,

27to a virginG3933 betrothedG3423 to a manG435 whose nameG3686 [was] JosephG2501, of the houseG3624 of DavidG1138; and the virgin's nameG3686 [was] MaryG3137.

28And the angelG32 cameG1525 in to her, and saidG3004, HailG5463, [thou] favoured one! the LordG2962 [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].

29But she, [seeing] [the angel], wasG1510 troubled at his wordG3056, and reasonedG1260 in her mind what this salutation might beG1510.

30And the angelG32 saidG3004 to her, FearG5399 not, MaryG3137, for thou hast foundG2147 favour with 2GodG2316;

31and beholdG2400, thou shalt conceive in the wombG1064 and bearG5088 a sonG5207, and thou shalt callG2564 his nameG3686 JesusG2424.

32He shall beG1510 greatG3173, and shall beG1510 calledG2564 SonG5207 of [the] HighestG5310; and [the] LordG2962 3GodG2316 shall giveG1325 him the throneG2362 of DavidG1138 his fatherG3962;

33and he shall reignG936 over the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 for the agesG165, and of his kingdomG932 there shall not beG1510 an endG5056.

34But MaryG3137 saidG3004 to the angelG32, HowG4459 shall this beG1510, since I knowG1097 not a manG435?

35And the angelG32 answeringG611 saidG3004 to her, [The] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 shall comeG1904 upon thee, and powerG1411 of [the] HighestG5310 overshadowG1982 thee, wherefore the holyG40 thing alsoG2532 which shall be bornG1080 shall be calledG2564 SonG5207 of 4GodG2316.

36And beholdG2400, ElizabethG1665, thy kinswoman, she alsoG2532 has conceived a sonG5207 in her old age, and this isG1510 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 to her that wasG1510 calledG2564 barrenG4723:

37for nothing shall be impossibleG101 with 5GodG2316.

38And MaryG3137 saidG3004, BeholdG2400 the bondmaid of [the] LordG2962; be it to me accordingG2596 to thy word. And the angelG32 departedG565 from her.

39And MaryG3137, risingG450 up in those daysG2250, wentG4198 into the hillG3714 countryG3714 with haste, to a cityG4172 of JudahG2455,

40and enteredG1525 into the houseG3624 of Zacharias, and saluted ElizabethG1665.

41And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as ElizabethG1665 heardG191 the salutation of MaryG3137, the babe leapedG4640 in her wombG2836; and ElizabethG1665 was filledG4130 with [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151,

42and cried out with a loudG3173 voice and saidG3004, BlessedG2127 [art] thou amongst womenG1135, and blessedG2127 the fruitG2590 of thy wombG2836.

43And whence [is] this to me, that the motherG3384 of my LordG2962 should comeG2064 to me?

44For beholdG2400, as the voiceG5456 of thy salutation sounded in my earsG3775, the babe leapedG4640 with joy in my wombG2836.

45And blessed [isG1510] she that has believedG4100, for there shall beG1510 a fulfilment of the things spokenG2980 to her from [the] LordG2962.

46And MaryG3137 saidG3004, My soulG5590 magnifies the LordG2962,

47and my spiritG4151 has rejoicedG21 in 6GodG2316 my Saviour.

48For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for beholdG2400, from henceforth all generationsG1074 shall call me blessed.

49For the MightyG1415 OneG3588 has done to me greatG3173 things, and holyG40 [is] his nameG3686;

50and his mercyG1656 [is] to generationsG1074 and generationsG1074 to them that fearG5399 him.

51He has wrought strengthG2904 with his armG1023; he has scatteredG1287 haughty [ones] in the thought of their heartG2588.

52He has put down rulers from thronesG2362, and exaltedG5312 the lowly.

53He has filled the hungryG3983 with goodG18 thingsG18, and sent awayG1821 the richG4147 emptyG2756.

54He has helped IsraelG2474 his servantG3816, in order to rememberG3403 mercyG1656,

55(as he spokeG2980 to our fathersG3962,) to AbrahamG11 and to his seedG4690 for ever.

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