* In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from 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 he came to her and said , "Hail , O favored one , the Lord is with you !" * But she was greatly troubled at the saying , and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be . * And 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 bear a son , and you shall call his name Jesus . * He 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 for ever ; and of his kingdom there will be no end ." * And Mary said to the angel , "How shall this be , since I have no husband ?" * And the angel said to her , "The 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 , the Son of God . * And behold , your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son ; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren . * For with God nothing will be impossible ." * And Mary said , "Behold , I am the handmaid of the Lord ; let it be to me according to your word ." And the angel departed from her .
