*
Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee ,
named Nazareth ,
*
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph ,
of the house of David .
And the virgin '
s name was Mary .
*
And the agent having come in near her ,
he said ,
Hail ,
thou who are highly favored .
The Lord is with thee ,
thou who are blessed among women .
*
But having seen ,
she was perplexed at his saying ,
and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be .
*
And the agent said to her ,
Fear not ,
Mary ,
for thou have found favor with God .
*
And behold ,
thou will conceive in thy womb ,
and bring forth a son .
And thou shall call his name JESUS .
*
This man 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 .
*
And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages .
And of his kingdom there will be no end .
*
And Mary said to the agent ,
How will this be ,
since I know not a man ?
*
And having answered ,
the agent said to her ,
Holy Spirit will come upon thee ,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee .
Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God .
