Luke 1:26-29 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Gabriel Predicts Jesus’ Birth

²⁶ In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, ²⁷ to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. 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 by this statement, wondering what kind of greeting this could be.
