Context of Luke 1:43
41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: 42And she spoke with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45And blessed is she that believed: that there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

High as was the distinction conferred upon herself, Elisabeth loses sight of it altogether, in presence of one more honored still; upon whom, with her unborn Babe, in an ecstasy of inspiration, she pronounces a benediction, feeling it to be a wonder unaccountable that "the mother of her Lord should come to her."
