Luke 1:35-80 And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God. ³⁶ And, behold, Elisabeth thy cousin, she also hath conceived in her old age: and this is the fifth month [of pregnancy] with her who was called barren. ³⁷ For there is nothing impossible with God. ³⁸ Then said Mary, Behold a servant of the Lord, be it to me according to thy declaration. And the angel departed from her. ³⁹ Then Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, ⁴⁰ and entered into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elisabeth. ⁴¹ And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped for joy in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: ⁴² and she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. ⁴³ And whence is this favour shewn me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ For, lo! as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the babe leaped for joy in my womb. ⁴⁵ And blessed is she that hath believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things told her from the Lord. ⁴⁶ And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, ⁴⁷ and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour: ⁴⁸ for he hath looked upon the lowly state of his maid-servant: for, lo! henceforth shall all generations pronounce me blessed. ⁴⁹ For the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name. ⁵⁰ And his mercy is upon those who fear him, from generation to generation. ⁵¹ He hath displayed strength from his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. ⁵² He hath cast down potentates from the throne, and hath exalted the lowly. ⁵³ He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. ⁵⁴ He hath succoured Israel his servant, that he might be mindful of mercy for ever; ⁵⁵ as he had spoken to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed. ⁵⁶ And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her home. ⁵⁷ Now Elisabeth's time was up that she should be delivered; and she brought a son. ⁵⁸ And her neighbours and her relations heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy upon her; and they congratulated her. ⁵⁹ And it came to pass, on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him after the name of his father, Zacharias. ⁶⁰ And his mother spake and said, No; but he shall be called John. ⁶¹ And they said to her, There is not one among thy relations, who is called by this name. ⁶² And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called. ⁶³ And desiring a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name. And they were all surprised. ⁶⁴ Instantly then his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he burst out in praises to God. ⁶⁵ And great awe fell on all those who dwelt around them: and in all the mountainous country of Judea, all these circumstances were the subject of conversation. ⁶⁶ And all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, Well! what a child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. ⁶⁷ And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, ⁶⁸ Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel; for he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people; ⁶⁹ and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David: ⁷⁰ as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been from the beginning: ⁷¹ even preservation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; ⁷² to perform mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his own holy covenant: ⁷³ the oath which he sware to Abraham our father, ⁷⁴ to give us, that we, secure from fear, rescued from the hands of our enemies, should serve him, ⁷⁵ in righteousness and holiness before him, all the days of our life. ⁷⁶ And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; ⁷⁷ to give the knowledge of salvation to his people, by the remission of their sins, ⁷⁸ through the bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high, ⁷⁹ to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace. ⁸⁰ And the child grew, and became mighty in spirit, and was in the deserts until the days of his public exhibition to Israel.
