26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth, 27 to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary. 28 And the messenger having come in to her, said, "Greetings, favored one, the LORD [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women"; 29 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be. 30 And the messenger said to her, "Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God; 31 and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and call His Name Jesus; 32 He will be great, and He will be called Son of the Highest, and the LORD God will give Him the throne of His father David, 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end." 34 And Mary said to the messenger, "How will this be, seeing I do not know a husband?" 35 And the messenger answering said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you, therefore also the holy-begotten thing will be called Son of God; 36 and behold, Elizabeth, your relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren; 37 because nothing will be impossible with God." 38 And Mary said, "Behold, the maidservant of the LORD; let it be to me according to your saying," and the messenger went away from her.
