In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee
named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said,
"Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" But she was greatly troubled at
the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.
And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor
with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you
shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of
the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father
David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his
kingdom there will be no end." And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this
be, since I have no husband?" And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit
will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you;
therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And
behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son;
and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For with God
nothing will be impossible." And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of
the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed
from her.
