Context of Luke 1:40

38Mary answered, ‘I am the servant of the Lord. I have heard what you have said. I want it to happen to me just like that.’ Then the angel left her. 39After that, Mary prepared herself to travel. She hurried to a town in the hills of Judea. When she arrived at the home of Zechariah, she said ‘hello’ to Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary speak, she felt her baby move quickly inside her. The Holy Spirit filled her. 42She spoke to Mary in a loud voice, ‘God has made you very happy. He has been good and kind to you more than to other women. He has also been good and kind to your baby.
