* Then Mary said . "Behold I am Lords slave . Let it be to me as you have said ." Then the angel departed from her . * Soon after this Mary set out and hastened unto the hill-country to a town in Judah ; * and there she came into the house of Zachariah , and greeted Elizabeth . * And when Elizabeth heard her salutation , the babe leaped in her womb , and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit , * and called out with a loud cry . "Blessed are you among women , and blessed is your unborn child ! * "But why is this honor done me , that the mother of my Lord should come me ? * "For behold when the sound of your salutation reached my ears , the babe leaped with joy within my womb . * "And blessed is she who believed that the Lords words spoken to her would be fulfilled ." * And Mary said . "My soul doth magnify the Lord , * "My spirit exults in the God , who is my Saviour , * "For he has regarded the humiliation of his slave , And from this hour all ages will count me blessed . * "For he who is mighty has done great things for me ; And holy is his name . * "His mercy is unto generations and generations on those who reverence him . * "He has showed strength with his arm . "He has scattered proud in the imagination of their hearts ; * "he has put down princes from their thrones , and has exalted those of low degree . * "The hungry he has filled with good things , But the rich he has sent empty away . * "He has helped Israel , his servant , that he might remember mercy , * "As he spoke to our forefathers , to Abraham and his offspring forever ." * So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and returned home .
