¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: for when his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant from the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ Now Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man and not willing to disgrace her, planned to divorce her secretly. ²⁰ But when he was contemplating these things, behold, a messenger of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary to you, as your wife for what was born in her is from the Holy Spirit.

¹² Jehovah recompense your work and a full reward be given you of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.

⁸ And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am not I better to you than ten sons?

²² (Cast your burden upon Jehovah and he will sustain you. He will not allow the righteous man to be shaken everlasting.)

²⁴ He who makes many friends does it to his own destruction, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

⁴ And even to old age I am he and even to hoar hairs I will carry you *. I have made and I will bear, yes, I will carry and will deliver.

⁵⁸ And the dwellers around her, and her relatives, heard that the Lord was magnifying his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing together with her. ⁵⁹ And it happened, that on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were to be calling it upon the name of his father, Zacharias. ⁶⁰ And his mother answered and said, Not so, but he will be called John.
⁶¹ And they said to her, There is none among your relatives who is called by this name. ⁶² But they were signaling to his father, what he might wish him to be called. ⁶³ And he asked for a writing-tablet and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
