Luke 1:26-38

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to 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 the angel went in to her, and said, “Hail, you who are freely beloved. The Lord is with you. You are blessed among women.”

²⁹ And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what kind of greeting that should be.

³⁰ Then the angel said to her, “Do not fear, Mary. For you have found favor with God.

³¹ “For lo, you shall conceive in your womb, and bear a Son, and shall 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 to Him the throne of his father David.

³³ “And He shall reign over the House of Jacob forever. And of His Kingdom shall be no end.”

³⁴ Then Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, seeing I do not know man?”

³⁵ And the angel answered, and said to her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you. Therefore, also, that Holy Thing which shall be born by you, shall be called the Son of God.

³⁶ “And behold, your cousin, Elizabeth. She has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is her sixth month, who was called barren.

³⁷ “For with God shall nothing be impossible.”

³⁸ Then Mary said, “Behold the servant of the Lord. May it be to me according to your word.” So, the angel departed from her.
