Luke 1:26-38

Murdock(i) 26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God into Galilee, to a city named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel entered the house, and said to her: Peace to thee, thou full of grace! The Lord is with thee: and blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was agitated by his speech; and she pondered, what this salutation could mean. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God. 31 For lo, thou wilt conceive in thy womb, and wilt bear a son, and wilt call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. 33 And he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his reign there will be no end. 34 And Mary said to the angel: How can this be, as I have not known a man? 35 The angel replied, and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; therefore he that is born of thee is holy, and will be called the Son of God. 36 And lo, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, even she too hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren. 37 Because nothing is difficult for God. 38 Mary said: Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me, according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
