Luke 1:41-56

ACV(i) 41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly. 43 And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me? 44 For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly. 45 And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed, 49 because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy. 50 And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him. 51 He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart. 52 He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men. 53 He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty. 54 He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy, 55 just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age. 56 And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
