wmth - Luke:1:26-38

wmth@Luke:1:26 @ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

wmth@Luke:1:27 @ to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.

wmth@Luke:1:28 @ So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, »Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you.«

wmth@Luke:1:29 @ She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.

wmth@Luke:1:30 @ But the angel said, »Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.

wmth@Luke:1:31 @ You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name JESUS.

wmth@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and He will be called `Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;

wmth@Luke:1:33 @ and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, and of His Kingdom there will be no end.«

wmth@Luke:1:34 @ »How can this be,« Mary replied, »seeing that I have no husband?«

wmth@Luke:1:35 @ The angel answered, »The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring will be called `the Son of God.'

wmth@Luke:1:36 @ And see, your relative Elizabeth–she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

wmth@Luke:1:37 @ For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment.«

wmth@Luke:1:38 @ »I am the Lord's maidservant,« Mary replied; »may it be with me in accordance with your words!« And then the angel left her.
