31 And behold, (A)you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and (B)you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of (C)the Most High. And the Lord God (D)will give to him the throne of (E)his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob (F)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?”[a]

35 And the angel answered her, (G)“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of (H)the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[b] will be called (I)holy—(J)the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her (K)who was called barren. 37 For (L)nothing will be impossible with God.”

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, (H)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 (I)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 (J)with God nothing will be impossible.”
