* Now in the sixth month the angel 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 . The virgin 's name was Mary . * And having come in , the angel said to her , "Rejoice , highly favored one , the Lord is with you ; blessed are you among women !" * But when she saw him , she was troubled at his saying , and considered what manner of greeting this was . * Then the angel said to her , "Do not be afraid , Mary , for you have found favor with God . * And behold , you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son , and shall call His name JESUS . * He will be great , and will be called the Son of the Highest ; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David . * And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever , and of His kingdom there will be no end ." * Then Mary said to the angel , "How can this be , since I do not know a man ?" * And the angel answered and said to her , "The Holy Spirit will come upon you , and the power of the Highest will overshadow you ; therefore , also , that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God . * Now indeed , Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age ; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren . * For with God nothing will be impossible ." * Then Mary said , "Behold the maidservant of the Lord ! Let it be to me according to your word ." And the angel departed from her .
