Context of Luke 1:44
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. 43You are the mother of my Lord and I am not an important person. So it is very good that you have visited me. Listen! When I heard you say, “Hello” to me, my baby moved quickly inside me. He was very happy. 45The Lord has told you what will happen. And you believed what he told you. Because of that, God has made you a happy person.’ 46Then Mary said, ‘All of me wants to praise God and say, “Lord, how good and great you are!”
