Luke 1:30-37
New King James Version
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.”

30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,(A) Mary; you have found favor with God.(B) 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.(C) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.(D) The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,(E) 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom(F) will never end.”(G)
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you,(H) and the power of the Most High(I) will overshadow you. So the holy one(J) to be born will be called[a] the Son of God.(K) 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child(L) in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”(M)

New King James Version
10 “For (A)as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 (B)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [a]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (C)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

10 As the rain(A) and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(B)
so that it yields seed(C) for the sower and bread for the eater,(D)
11 so is my word(E) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(F)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(G) for which I sent it.
