* And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee , called 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 that art highly favored ! the Lord is with thee . * And she was troubled at the words , and was considering what this salutation could mean . * And the angel said to her , Fear not , Mary ; for thou hast found favor with God . * And lo ! thou shalt conceive in thy womb , and hear a son , and shalt call his name Jesus . * He shall be great , and shall be called the Son of the Most High ; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father ; * and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever ; and of his kingdom there shall be no end . * Then said Mary to the angel , How shall this be , since I know not a man ? * And the angel answering said to her , The Holy Spirit will come upon thee , and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee ; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God . * And lo ! Elizabeth , thy kinswoman , she also hath conceived a son in her old age ; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren . * For nothing will be impossible with God . * And Mary said , Lo , the handmaid of the Lord ! May it be to me according to thy word . And the angel departed from her .
