35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.
36 And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is her sixth month who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda.
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.
41 And it came to pass, that when Elisabet heard the Salutation of Mary, and Elisabet's babe leaped in her womb, and Elisabet was filled with the Holy Ghost.
42 And she cried out with, a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of [my] Lord should come to me?
44 For lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed [is] she that hath believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnifie the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoyced in God my Saviour.
48 For the Lord hath regarded the low estate of his servant, for behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For God that is mighty hath done to [me] great things, and holy [is] his name.
50 And his mercy [is] on them that fear him, from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm, he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, to remember [his] mercy,
55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
56 And Mary abode with her three months, and returned to her own house.
57 Now Elisabets full time came, that she should be delivered;and she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbours and her kinsfolks heard how the Lord had magnifyed his mercy to her;and they rejoyced with her.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eight day they came to circumcise the child;and they called him, after the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 And his mother answered and said, No, but his name shall be called John.
61 And they said unto her, That there it none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing-table, and wrote, His name is John. And his tongue was loosed: And they marvelled all.
64 And his mouth was opened, and he spake, praising God,
65 And great fear came on all that dwelt round about him: and all these saying, were publickly talked of abroad throughout all the hill-country of Judea.
66 And all they that heard it laid [it] up in their hearts, saying, What then shall this child be ?For the hand of the Lord [was] also with him.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied,
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath raised an horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his Servant;
70 Ashe spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began;
71 Salvation from the hand of our enemies, and of all that hate us.
72 To perform the mercy to our fathers, to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 To grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 But thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest;for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people, in the remission of their sins.
78 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God;whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
79 To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 Now the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing into Israel.
