rsv@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

rsv@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

rsv@Luke:1:28 @ And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!"

rsv@Luke:1:29 @ But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

rsv@Luke:1:30 @ And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

rsv@Luke:1:31 @ And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

rsv@Luke:1:32 @ 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,

rsv@Luke:1:33 @ and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end."

rsv@Luke:1:34 @ And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?"

rsv@Luke:1:35 @ 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.

rsv@Luke:1:36 @ 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.

rsv@Luke:1:37 @ For with God nothing will be impossible."

rsv@Luke:1:38 @ 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.
