28 The angel went in and said to her, "Hail, O favoured one! the Lord be with you!"
29 At this she was startled; she thought to herself, whatever can this greeting mean?
30 But the angel said to her, "Fear not, Mary, you have found favour with God.
31 You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must call his name Jesus.
32 He will be great, he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father;
33 he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and to his reign there will be no end."
34 "How can this be?" said Mary to the angel, "I have no husband."
35 The angel answered her, "The holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Most High will overshadow you; hence what is born will be called holy, Son of God.
36 Look, there is your kinswoman Elizabeth! Even she has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month;
37 for with God nothing is ever impossible."
38 Mary said, "I am here to serve the Lord. Let it be as you have said." Then the angel went away.
