Luke 1:35-80 And the angel, answering, said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; wherefore also the Holy Thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁵ And the angel, answering, said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; wherefore also the Holy Thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God. ³⁶ And, behold, Elizabeth, your kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren; ³⁷ because no word from God shall be without power." ³⁸ And Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; may it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. ³⁹ And Mary, arising in those days, went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; ⁴⁰ and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ And it came to pass that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: ⁴² and she lifted up her voice, with a loud cry, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! ⁴³ And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me! ⁴⁴ For, behold, as the voice of your salutation came into my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy! ⁴⁵ And happy is she who believed, because there shall be a fulfillment of the things spoken to her from the Lord!" ⁴⁶ And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord; ⁴⁷ and my spirit exulted in God my Saviour; ⁴⁸ because He looked upon the lowliness of His handmaid; for, behold, from the present time all generations will call me happy; ⁴⁹ because the Mighty One did great things for me; and Holy is His name! ⁵⁰ And His mercy is unto generations and generations to those who fear Him. ⁵¹ He wrought might with His arm; He scattered men proud in the imagination of their heart. ⁵² He deposed potentates from thrones, and exalted the lowly. ⁵³ The hungry He filled with good things, and the rich He sent away empty. ⁵⁴ He succored Israel His servant, to remember mercy, ⁵⁵ (as He spake to our fathers), to Abraham and to his seed forever." ⁵⁶ And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house. ⁵⁷ Now the time was completed for Elizabeth, that she should give birth, and she brought forth a son. ⁵⁸ And her neighbors and kindred heard that the Lord was magnifying His mercy together with her; and they rejoiced with her. ⁵⁹ And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they were calling him Zacharias, after the name of his father. ⁶⁰ And his mother, answering, said; "No; but he shall be called John." ⁶¹ And they said to her, "There is no one of your kindred who is called by this name." ⁶² And they were making signs to his father, what he wished him to be called. ⁶³ And, asking for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, "John is his name." And they all marveled. ⁶⁴ And his mouth was instantly opened, and his tongue loosed, and he was speaking, blessing God. ⁶⁵ And fear came upon all those dwelling around them. And in all the hill country of Judea all these sayings were being much talked of; ⁶⁶ and all who heard laid them up in their heart, saying, "What, then, shall this child be!" For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. ⁶⁷ And Zacharias, his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he prophesied, saying, ⁶⁸ "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He visited, and wrought redemption for His people; ⁶⁹ and raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant; ⁷⁰ (as He spake through the mouth of His holy prophets from of old), ⁷¹ salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; ⁷² to show mercy towards our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant; ⁷³ the oath which He swore to Abraham, our father; ⁷⁴ to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, ⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days. ⁷⁶ "And you also, child, shall be called 'Prophet of the Most High;' for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to prepare His ways; ⁷⁷ to give knowledge of salvation to His people in remission of their sins, ⁷⁸ because of the tender compassions of the mercy of our God, wherein the day-spring from on high shall visit us, ⁷⁹ to shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." ⁸⁰ And the child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
