Luke 1:39-45

Modern English Version

Mary Visits Elizabeth

³⁹ In those days Mary arose and quickly went into the hill country, to a city of Judah, ⁴⁰ and entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. ⁴² She spoke out with a loud voice, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! ⁴³ But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ Indeed, as soon as the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. ⁴⁵ Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a completion to those things which were told her by the Lord.”
