| 39 | And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; |
| 40 | And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. |
| 41 | And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: |
| 42 | And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. |
| 43 | And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? |
| 44 | For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. |
| 45 | And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. |
| 46 | And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, |
| 47 | And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. |
| 48 | For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. |
| 49 | For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. |
| 50 | And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. |
| 51 | He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. |
| 52 | He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. |
| 53 | He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. |
| 54 | He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; |
| 55 | As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever. |
| 56 | And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. |
