²⁶ In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to the Galilean village of Nazareth ²⁷ to a virgin engaged to be married to a man descended from David. His name was Joseph, and the virgin's name, Mary. ²⁸ Upon entering, Gabriel greeted her: Good morning! You're beautiful with God's beauty, Beautiful inside and out! God be with you. ²⁹ She was thoroughly shaken, wondering what was behind a greeting like that. ³⁰ But the angel assured her, "Mary, you have nothing to fear. God has a surprise for you: ³¹ You will become pregnant and give birth to a son and call his name Jesus. ³² He will be great, be called 'Son of the Highest.' The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David; ³³ He will rule Jacob's house forever-- no end, ever, to his kingdom." ³⁴ Mary said to the angel, "But how? I've never slept with a man." ³⁵ The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you; Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. ³⁶ "And did you know that your cousin Elizabeth conceived a son, old as she is? Everyone called her barren, and here she is six months' pregnant! ³⁷ Nothing, you see, is impossible with God." ³⁸ And Mary said, Yes, I see it all now: I'm the Lord's maid, ready to serve. Let it be with me just as you say. Then the angel left her.
