Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary

²⁶ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

²³ And he came and dwelt in a city called ^(A)Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled ^(B)which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

¹⁹ And the angel answered and said to him, “I am ^(A)Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you ^[a]these glad ^(B)tidings.

⁴¹ Others said, “This is ^(A)the Christ.”

But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴ Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to ^(A)the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, ^(B)because he was of the house and lineage of David,

⁴⁵ Philip found ^(A)Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom ^(B)Moses in the law, and also the ^(C)prophets, wrote—Jesus ^(D)of Nazareth, the ^(E)son of Joseph.”

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, ^(F)“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
