New Testament in a Year
39 ¶ And Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;
42 and she spoke out with a loud voice and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 Then Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saving Health,
48 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden; for, behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty has done great things unto me, and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is on those that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.
54 He has received his servant Israel in remembrance of his mercy
55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.
56 And Mary abode with her about three months and then returned to her own house.
