Gabriel Predicts Jesus’ Birth

²⁶ In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel^(A) was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,^{(B) 27} to a virgin engaged^(C) to a man named Joseph, of the house of David.^(D) The virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸ And the angel came to her and said, “Rejoice, favored woman! The Lord is with you.”^{[a] 29} But she was deeply troubled^(E) by this statement, wondering what kind of greeting this could be.
