Luke 1:26-37
26NowG1161 in the sixthG1623 monthG3376 the angelG32 1GabrielG1043 was sentG649 from GodG2316 to a cityG4172 inG649 GalileeG1056 namedG3686 2NazarethG3478,
27to 3a virginG3933 4betrothedG3423 to a manG435 whoseG3739 nameG3686 was JosephG2501, 5of the 6descendantsG3624 of DavidG1160; and the virgin’sG3933 nameG3686 was 7MaryG3137.
28And comingG1525 inG1525, he saidG3004 to her, “GreetingsG5463, favoredG5487 one! The LordG2962 8is with you.”
29But she 9was veryG1298 perplexedG1298 at this statementG3056, and was ponderingG1260 whatG4217 kindG4217 of greetingG783 thisG3778 was.
30And the angelG32 saidG3004 to her, “10Do 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 11shall nameG2564G3686 Him JesusG2424.
32He will be greatG3173 and will be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of 12the MostG5310 HighG5310; and the LordG2962 GodG2316 will giveG1325 Him 13the throneG2362 of His fatherG3962 DavidG1160;
3314and He will reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 foreverG165, 15and His kingdomG932 will have noG3756 endG5056.”
34But MaryG3137 saidG3004 to the angelG32, “HowG4459 will thisG3778 be, sinceG1893 I 16am a virginG435G3756G1097?”
35The angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to her, “17The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 will comeG1904 upon you, and the powerG1411 of 18the MostG5310 HighG5310 will overshadowG1982 you; for that reasonG1352 alsoG2532 19the 20holyG40 ChildG1080 will be calledG2564 21the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
36And beholdG2400, evenG2532 your relativeG4773 ElizabethG1665 herselfG846 has conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 in her oldG1094 ageG1094, and 22she who was calledG2564 infertileG4723 is nowG3778 in her sixthG1623 monthG3376.
37For 23nothingG3756G3956G4487 will be impossibleG101 with GodG2316.”
