³⁵ And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

⁵ Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
