26 到了第六个月, 天使加百列奉 神差遣, 往加利利的拿撒勒城去,

27 到了一个童贞女那里, 她已经和大卫家一个名叫约瑟的人订了婚, 童贞女的名字是马利亚。

28 天使进去, 对她说: "恭喜! 蒙大恩的女子, 主与你同在! "

29 她却因这话惊慌起来, 反复思想这样祝贺是什么意思。

30 天使说: "马利亚, 不要怕! 因你已从 神那里蒙了恩。

31 你将怀孕生子, 要给他起名叫耶稣。

32 他将要被尊为大, 称为至高者的儿子, 主 神要把他祖大卫的王位赐给他,

33 他要作王统治雅各家, 直到永远, 他的国没有穷尽。"

34 马利亚对天使说: "我还没有出嫁, 怎能有这事呢?"

35 天使回答: "圣灵要临到你, 至高者的能力要覆庇你, 因此那将要出生的圣者, 必称为 神的儿子。

36 你看, 你亲戚以利沙伯, 被称为不生育的, 在老年也怀了男胎, 现在已是第六个月了,

37 因为在 神没有一件事是不可能的。"

38 马利亚说: "我是主的婢女, 愿照你的话成就在我身上! "天使就离开她去了。

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee. 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor 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 Most High: 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 And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God. 36 And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren. 37 For no word from God shall be void of power. 38 And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
