Luke 1:28-38

28And comingG1525 in, he saidG3004 to her, “GreetingsG5463, 1favoredG5487 one! The LordG2962 2is with you.” 29But she 3was veryG1298 perplexedG1298 at this statementG3056, and kept ponderingG1260 whatG4217 kindG4217 of salutationG783 thisG3778 was. 30The angelG32 saidG3004 to her, “4Do not be afraidG5399, MaryG3137; for you have foundG2147 favorG5485 with GodG2316. 31And beholdG2400, you will conceiveG4815 in your wombG1064 and bearG5088 a sonG5207, and you 5shall nameG3686 Him JesusG2424. 32He will be greatG3173 and will be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of 6the MostG5310 HighG5310; and the LordG2962 GodG2316 will giveG1325 Him 7the throneG2362 of His fatherG3962 DavidG1160; 338and He will reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 foreverG165, 9and His kingdomG932 will have noG3756 endG5056.” 34MaryG3137 saidG3004 to the angelG32, “HowG4459 10can thisG3778 be, sinceG1893 I 11am a virginG435G3756G1097?” 35The angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to her, “12The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will comeG1904 upon you, and the powerG1411 of 13the MostG5310 HighG5310 will overshadowG1982 you; and for that reasonG1352 14the 15holyG40 ChildG1080 shall be calledG2564 16the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 36And beholdG2400, evenG2532 your relativeG4773 ElizabethG1665 has alsoG2532 conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 in her oldG1094 ageG1094; and 17she who was calledG2564 barrenG4723 is now in her sixthG1623 monthG3376. 37For 1819nothingG3756G3956G4487 will be impossibleG101 with GodG2316.” 38And MaryG3137 saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, the 20bondslaveG1401 of the LordG2962; may it be doneG1096 to me accordingG2596 to your wordG4487.” And the angelG32 departedG565 from her.
