{26} And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, {27} To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
{28} 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. {29} And when
she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner
of salutation this should be. {30} And the angel said unto her, Fear not,
Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. {31} And, behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
{32} 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: {33} And he shall
reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no
end. {34} Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not
a man? {35} 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. {36} 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.
{37} For with God nothing shall be impossible. {38} And Mary said, Behold the
handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel
departed from her.
