34 And Mary said to the angel, »How can this be, since I am a virgin?«

35 And the angel answered her, »The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing will be impossible.«

38 Then Mary said, »Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.« And the angel departed from her.
