Luke 1:39-45
1599 Geneva Bible
39 ¶ [a]And Mary arose in those days, and went into the [b]hill country with haste to a [c]city of Judah,
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe [d]sprang in her belly, and Elizabeth was filled with the holy Ghost.
42 And she cried with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, because [e]the fruit of thy womb is blessed.
43 And whence cometh this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe sprang in my belly for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for those things shall be performed, which were told her from the Lord.
