In The Sixth Month, an Angel Appears To Mary, a Virgin Promised In Marriage To Joseph

²⁶ Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent-forth from God to a city of Galilee for which the name was Nazareth, ²⁷ to a virgin having been promised-in-marriage^[a] to a man for whom the name was Joseph, from the house of David. And the name of the virgin was Mary. ²⁸ And having come-in to^[b] her, he said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you”. ²⁹ But the one was very-troubled at the statement, and was pondering what-kind-of greeting this might be.

The Angel Tells Mary She Will Give Birth To a Son— Jesus, The Son of God

³⁰ And the angel said to her, “Do not be fearing, Mary. For you found favor^[c] with God. ³¹ And behold— you will conceive in your womb and give-birth to a son. And you shall call His name Jesus. ³² This One will be great, and will be called ‘Son of the Most-High’. And the Lord God will give Him the throne of David, His father. ³³ And He will reign^[d] over the house of Jacob forever. And there will not be an end of His kingdom”. ³⁴ And Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I am not knowing^[e] a man?” ³⁵ And having responded, the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most-High will overshadow you. For this reason^[f] also the Holy Child being born will be called God’s Son. ³⁶ And behold— Elizabeth your relative also herself has conceived a son in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her, the one being called barren, ³⁷ because no word^[g] from God will be impossible”. ³⁸ And Mary said, “Behold the slave of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word”. And the angel departed from her.
