²⁶ But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,

²⁷ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.

²⁸ And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art *thou* amongst women].

²⁹ But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.

³⁰ And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;

³¹ and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.

³² *He* shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;

³³ and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end.

³⁴ But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?

³⁵ And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.

³⁶ And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:

³⁷ for nothing shall be impossible with God.

³⁸ And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
