* But in the sixth month , the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee , of which [the ] name [was ] 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 angel came in to her , and said , Hail , [thou ] favoured one ! the Lord [is ] with thee : [blessed art thou amongst women ]. * But she , [seeing ] [the angel ], was troubled at his word , and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be . * And the angel said to her , Fear not , Mary , for thou hast found favour with God ; * and behold , thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son , and thou shalt call his name Jesus . * He shall be great , and shall be called Son of [the ] Highest ; and [the ] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father ; * and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages , and of his kingdom there shall not be an end . * But Mary said to the angel , How shall this be , since I know not a man ? * And the angel answering said to her , [The ] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee , and power of [the ] Highest overshadow thee , wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God . * And behold , Elizabeth , thy kinswoman , she also has conceived a son in her old age , and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren : * for nothing shall be impossible with God . * And Mary said , Behold the bondmaid of [the ] Lord ; be it to me according to thy word . And the angel departed from her .
