Luke 1:28-38

English Standard Version

²⁸ And he came to her and said, “Greetings, ^(A)O favored one, ^(B)the Lord is with you!”^{[a] 29} But ^(C)she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. ³⁰ And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for ^(D)you have found favor with God. ³¹ And behold, ^(E)you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and ^(F)you shall call his name Jesus. ³² He will be great and will be called the Son of ^(G)the Most High. And the Lord God ^(H)will give to him the throne of ^(I)his father David, ³³ and he will reign over the house of Jacob ^(J)forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

³⁴ And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”^[b]

³⁵ And the angel answered her, ^(K)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of ^(L)the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born^[c] will be called ^(M)holy—^(N)the Son of God. ³⁶ And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her ^(O)who was called barren. ³⁷ For ^(P)nothing will be impossible with God.” ³⁸ And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant^[d] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And ^(Q)the angel departed from her.
