Birth of Jesus Foretold
26In the sixth month the angel xGabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named yNazareth, 27zto a virgin betrothed2 to a man whose name was Joseph, aof the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Greetings, bO favored one, cthe Lord is with you!”3 29But dshe was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for eyou have found favor with God. 31And behold, fyou will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and gyou shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of hthe Most High. And the Lord God iwill give to him the throne of jhis father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob kforever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”4
35And the angel answered her, l“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of hthe Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born5 will be called mholy—nthe Son of God. 36And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her owho was called barren. 37For pnothing will be impossible with God.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant6 of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And qthe angel departed from her.
