Luke 1:27-35

English Standard Version

^27 (A)to a virgin betrothed^[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, ^(B)of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. ²⁸ And he came to her and said, “Greetings, ^(C)O favored one, ^(D)the Lord is with you!”^{[b] 29} But ^(E)she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. ³⁰ And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for ^(F)you have found favor with God. ³¹ And behold, ^(G)you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and ^(H)you shall call his name Jesus. ³² He will be great and will be called the Son of ^(I)the Most High. And the Lord God ^(J)will give to him the throne of ^(K)his father David, ³³ and he will reign over the house of Jacob ^(L)forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

³⁴ And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”^[c]

³⁵ And the angel answered her, ^(M)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of ^(N)the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born^[d] will be called ^(O)holy—^(P)the Son of God.
