³⁰ Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found ^(A)favor with God. ^31 (B)And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and ^(C)shall call His name Jesus. ³² He will be great, ^(D)and will be called the Son of the Highest; and ^(E)the Lord God will give Him the ^(F)throne of His ^(G)father David. ^33 (H)And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

³⁴ Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I ^[a]do not know a man?”

³⁵ And the angel answered and said to her, ^(I)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called ^(J)the Son of God. ³⁶ Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. ³⁷ For ^(K)with God nothing will be impossible.”
