29
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47

53
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

61
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
65
And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69
Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
