Mary Visits Elizabeth

³⁹ Later on,^[a] Mary set out for a Judean city in the hill country. ⁴⁰ She went into Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby jumped in her womb. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit ⁴² and she loudly exclaimed, “How blessed are you among women, and how blessed is the infant in^[b] your womb! ⁴³ Why should this happen to me, to have the mother of my Lord visit me? ⁴⁴ As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. ⁴⁵ How blessed is this woman who believed that what the Lord told her would be fulfilled!”
