\u00a0<\/sup>In the sixth month of Elizabeth\u2019s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,<\/span> 27\u00a0<\/sup>to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin\u2019s name was Mary.<\/span> 28\u00a0<\/sup>The angel went to her and said, \u201cGreetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

29\u00a0<\/sup>Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.<\/span> 30\u00a0<\/sup>But the angel said to her, \u201cDo not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.<\/span> 31\u00a0<\/sup>You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.<\/span> 32\u00a0<\/sup>He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,<\/span> 33\u00a0<\/sup>and he will reign over Jacob\u2019s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

34\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cHow will this be,\u201d Mary asked the angel, \u201csince I am a virgin?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

35\u00a0<\/sup>The angel answered, \u201cThe Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.<\/span> 36\u00a0<\/sup>Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.<\/span> 37\u00a0<\/sup>For no word from God will ever fail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

38\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cI am the Lord\u2019s servant,\u201d Mary answered. \u201cMay your word to me be fulfilled.\u201d Then the angel left her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mary Visits Elizabeth<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

39\u00a0<\/sup>At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,<\/span> 40\u00a0<\/sup>where she entered Zechariah\u2019s home and greeted Elizabeth.<\/span> 41\u00a0<\/sup>When Elizabeth heard Mary\u2019s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.<\/span> 42\u00a0<\/sup>In a loud voice she exclaimed: \u201cBlessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!<\/span> 43\u00a0<\/sup>But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?<\/span> 44\u00a0<\/sup>As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.<\/span> 45\u00a0<\/sup>Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mary\u2019s Song<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

46\u00a0<\/sup>And Mary said:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cMy soul glorifies the Lord<\/span>
47\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,<\/span><\/span>
48\u00a0<\/sup>for he has been mindful<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>of the humble state of his servant.<\/span><\/span>
From now on all generations will call me blessed,<\/span>
49\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>for the Mighty One has done great things for me\u2014<\/span><\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>holy is his name.<\/span><\/span>
50\u00a0<\/sup>His mercy extends to those who fear him,<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
