Virgin Mary

Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

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.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

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.

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

And blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
