²⁸ And he came to her and said, “Greetings, ^(A)O favored one, ^(B)the Lord is with you!”^[a]

¹⁹ And he said, ^(A)“O man greatly loved, ^(B)fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

¹² And ^(A)the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, ^(B)“The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.”

³⁰ And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for ^(A)you have found favor with God.

^6 (A)to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in ^(B)the Beloved.

²¹ while I was speaking in prayer, the man ^(A)Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, ^(B)came to me in swift flight at ^(C)the time of the evening sacrifice. ^22 (D)He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you ^(E)insight and understanding. ^23 (F)At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, ^(G)and I have come to tell it to you, for ^(H)you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word ^(I)and understand the vision.

^10 (A)for I am with you, and ^(B)no one will attack you to harm you, for ^(C)I have many in this city who are my people.”

¹⁸ And I, behold, I make you this day ^(A)a fortified city, ^(B)an iron pillar, and ^(C)bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. ^19 (D)They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for ^(E)I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.”
