Luke 1:25-38

25“ThisG3779 isG3779 theG3779 wayG3779 the LordG2962 has dealtG4160 with me in the daysG2250 whenG3739 He lookedG1896 with favor uponG1896 me, to 1takeG851 awayG851 my disgraceG3681 amongG1722 peopleG444.”

26NowG1161 in the sixthG1623 monthG3376 the angelG32 2GabrielG1043 was sentG649 from GodG2316 to a cityG4172 inG649 GalileeG1056 namedG3686 3NazarethG3478, 27to 4a virginG3933 5betrothedG3423 to a manG435 whoseG3739 nameG3686 was JosephG2501, 6of the 7descendantsG3624 of DavidG1160; and the virgin’sG3933 nameG3686 was 8MaryG3137. 28And comingG1525 inG1525, he saidG3004 to her, “GreetingsG5463, favoredG5487 one! The LordG2962 9is with you.” 29But she 10was veryG1298 perplexedG1298 at this statementG3056, and was ponderingG1260 whatG4217 kindG4217 of greetingG783 thisG3778 was. 30And the angelG32 saidG3004 to her, “11Do not beG5399 afraidG5399, MaryG3137, for you have foundG2147 favorG5485 with GodG2316. 31And beholdG2400, you will conceiveG4815 in your wombG1064 and giveG5088 birthG5088 to a sonG5207, and you 12shall nameG2564 G3686 Him JesusG2424. 32He will be greatG3173 and will be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of 13the MostG5310 HighG5310; and the LordG2962 GodG2316 will giveG1325 Him 14the throneG2362 of His fatherG3962 DavidG1160; 33 15and He will reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 foreverG165, 16and His kingdomG932 will have noG3756 endG5056.” 34But MaryG3137 saidG3004 to the angelG32, “HowG4459 will thisG3778 be, sinceG1893 I 17am a virginG435 G3756 G1097?” 35The angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to her, “18The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will comeG1904 upon you, and the powerG1411 of 19the MostG5310 HighG5310 will overshadowG1982 you; for that reasonG1352 alsoG2532 20the 21holyG40 ChildG1080 will be calledG2564 22the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 36And beholdG2400, evenG2532 your relativeG4773 ElizabethG1665 herselfG846 has conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 in her oldG1094 ageG1094, and 23she who was calledG2564 infertileG4723 is nowG3778 in her sixthG1623 monthG3376. 37For 24nothingG3756 G3956 G4487 will be impossibleG101 with GodG2316.” 38And MaryG3137 saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, the Lord’sG2962 bond-servantG1401; may it be doneG1096 to me accordingG2596 to your wordG4487.” And the angelG32 departedG565 from her.
