Luke 1:35-80 And the angel answering said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Highest will overshadow thee; therefore also the Holy One that is born shall be called the Son of God.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ And the angel answering said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Highest will overshadow thee; therefore also the Holy One that is born shall be called the Son of God. ³⁶ And, behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren. ³⁷ For with God nothing shall be impossible. ³⁸ And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. ³⁹ And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah; ⁴⁰ and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth. ⁴¹ And it came to pass, as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. ⁴² And she spoke out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. ⁴³ And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ For, behold, as the voice of thy salutation came into my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. ⁴⁵ And happy is she, who believed that there shall be a fulfillment of the things told her from the Lord. ⁴⁶ And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord; ⁴⁷ and my spirit rejoiced in God my Savior. ⁴⁸ Because he looked upon the low estate of his handmaid; for, behold, henceforth all generations will call me happy. ⁴⁹ Because the Mighty One did great things for me; and holy is his name. ⁵⁰ And his mercy is from generation to generation, to those who fear him. ⁵¹ He wrought might with his arm; he scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. ⁵² He cast down princes from thrones, and exalted those of low degree. ⁵³ The hungry he filled with good, and the rich he sent empty away. ⁵⁴ He helped Israel, his servant; to remember mercy, ⁵⁵ as he spoke to our fathers, for Abraham and for his seed forever. ⁵⁶ And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. ⁵⁷ Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. ⁵⁸ And her neighbors and her kindred heard that the Lord showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her. ⁵⁹ And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zachariah, after the name of his father. ⁶⁰ And his mother answered and said: Nay; but he shall be called John. ⁶¹ And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. ⁶² And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. ⁶³ And asking for a writing-tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they all wondered. ⁶⁴ And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God. ⁶⁵ And fear came on all that dwelt around them. And all these things were told abroad in all the hill-country of Judaea. ⁶⁶ And all who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying: What then will this child be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. ⁶⁷ And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: ⁶⁸ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, that he visited and wrought redemption for his people; ⁶⁹ and raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his servant, ⁷⁰ (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets of old,) ⁷¹ salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; ⁷² to show mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; ⁷³ the oath which he swore to Abraham our father, ⁷⁴ to grant to us, that without fear, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, we should serve him, ⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. ⁷⁶ And also thou, O child, shalt be called Prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways, ⁷⁷ in order to give knowledge of salvation to his people in remission of their sins; ⁷⁸ through the tender mercies of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high visited us, ⁷⁹ to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, in order to guide our feet into the way of peace. ⁸⁰ And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
