Luke 1:26-38

Jesus’ Birth Foretold

26 Now in the sixth month the angel ^aGabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called ^bNazareth, 27 to ^aa virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, ^bof the ¹house of David, and the virgin’s name was ²Mary. 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, ¹favored one! The Lord ²is with you.” 29 But she ^awas very perplexed at this statement, and was pondering what kind of greeting this was. 30 And the angel said to her, “^aDo not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you ^ashall name Him Jesus. 32 ¹He will be great and will be called the Son of ^athe Most High, and the ²Lord God will give Him ^bthe throne of His father David, 33 ^aand He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, ^band there will be no end of His kingdom.” 34 But Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I ¹am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered and said to her, “^aThe Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of ^bthe Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason ¹^cthe holy Child shall be called ^dthe Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren. 37 For ¹^anothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, the slave of the ¹Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
