Mary Visits Elizabeth

³⁹ Now ^[d]at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to ^(B)the hill country, to a city of Judah, ⁴⁰ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was ^(C)filled with the Holy Spirit. ⁴² And she cried out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! ⁴³ And ^[e]how has it happened to me, that the mother of ^(D)my Lord would come to me? ⁴⁴ For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy. ⁴⁵ And ^(E)blessed is she who ^[f]believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her ^[g]by the Lord.”

⁵⁶ And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.
