The Birth of Jesus Foretold

²⁶ In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel^(A) to Nazareth,^(B) a town in Galilee,

¹⁶ And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai^(A) calling, “Gabriel,^(B) tell this man the meaning of the vision.”^(C)

²¹ while I was still in prayer, Gabriel,^(A) the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.^(B)
