Gabriel Visits Mary
| 26 | And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, |
| 27 | To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. |
| 28 | And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. |
| 29 | And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. |
| 30 | And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. |
| 31 | And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. |
| 32 | He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: |
| 33 | And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. |
| 34 | Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? |
| 35 | And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. |
| 36 | And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. |
| 37 | For with God nothing shall be impossible. |
| 38 | And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. |
