b'Luke 1:26-45 (ESV)
\\n26\\xa0In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27\\xa0to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin\\u2019s name was Mary. 28\\xa0And he came to her and said, \\u201cGreetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!\\u201d 29\\xa0But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30\\xa0And the angel said to her, \\u201cDo not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31\\xa0And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32\\xa0He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33\\xa0and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.\\u201d
\\n34\\xa0And Mary said to the angel, \\u201cHow will this be, since I am a virgin?\\u201d
\\n35\\xa0And the angel answered her, \\u201cThe Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy\\u2014the Son of God. 36\\xa0And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37\\xa0For nothing will be impossible with God.\\u201d 38\\xa0And Mary said, \\u201cBehold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.\\u201d And the angel departed from her.
\\n39\\xa0In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40\\xa0and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41\\xa0And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42\\xa0and she exclaimed with a loud cry, \\u201cBlessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43\\xa0And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44\\xa0For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45\\xa0And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.\\u201d
