Bible. Luke
42:001:020 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until
the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season.
42:001:021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he
tarried so long in the temple.
42:001:022 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he
beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
42:001:023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
42:001:024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
herself five months, saying,
42:001:025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
on me, to take away my reproach among men.
42:001:026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
42:001:027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
42:001:028 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.
42:001:029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast
in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
42:001:030 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.
42:001:031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
42:001:032 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:
42:001:033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there shall be no end.
42:001:034 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?
42:001:035 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.
42:001:036 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.
42:001:037 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
42:001:038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
42:001:039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
with haste, into a city of Juda;
42:001:040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
Elisabeth.
