Old/New Testament
Mary Goes To See Elizabeth
39 And having arisen during these days, Mary proceeded to the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered into the house of Zechariah, and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it came about that when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped[a] in her womb.
Elizabeth Recognizes Mary As The Mother of Her Lord
And Elizabeth was filled[b] with the Holy Spirit, 42 and exclaimed with a loud shout and said, “You are blessed[c] among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And why[d] has this happened to me— that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold— when the sound of your greeting came-to-be in my ears, the baby leaped with gladness in my womb. 45 And blessed[e] is she having believed that[f] there will be a fulfillment to the things having been spoken to her from the Lord”.
Mary Rejoices Over God Her Savior
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies[g] the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoiced-greatly over God my Savior. 48 Because He looked-upon[h] the lowliness[i] of His slave, for behold— from now on, all generations will consider me blessed[j], 49 because the Powerful One did great things for me. And His name is holy. 50 And His mercy to generations and generations is on the ones fearing Him. 51 He did a mighty-deed[k] with His arm. He scattered ones proud[l] in the thought[m] of their heart. 52 He brought-down rulers from their thrones, and lifted-up lowly ones. 53 He filled ones being hungry with good things, and sent ones being rich away empty. 54 He helped Israel His servant so that He might remember[n] mercy, 55 just as He spoke to our fathers— to Abraham, and to his seed forever”. 56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
