WPNT(i)
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 So upon entering where she was the angel said, “Rejoice, recipient of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 But upon seeing him she was perplexed at his word and was trying to figure out what sort of greeting it might be.
30 The angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, because you have found favor with God.
31 Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.
32 He will be great, and will be called ‘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 into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!”
34 So Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 In answer the angel said to her: “Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will hover over you; precisely for this reason the holy One who is to be born will be called ‘Son of God’!
36 Furthermore, your relative Elizabeth, she has actually conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren;
37 because any word spoken by God will be possible.”
38 So Mary said: “Yes, I am the Lord’s slave! Let it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
