*
And in the sixth month ,
the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth ,
*
to a virgin who had been betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph ,
of the house of David ;
and the virgin '
s name was Mariam .
*
And entering ,
the angel said to her ,
Hail ,
one having received grace !
The Lord is with you .
You are blessed among women !
*
And seeing this ,
she was disturbed at his word ,
and considered what kind of greeting this might be .
*
And the angel said to her ,
Do not fear ,
Mariam ,
for you have found favor from God .
*
And behold !
You will conceive in your womb and bear a Son ,
and you will call His name Jesus .
*
This One will be great and will be called Son of the Most High .
And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David .
*
And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever ;
and of His kingdom there will be no end .
*
But Mariam said to the angel ,
How will this be since I do not know a man ?
*
And answering ,
the angel said to her ,
The Holy Spirit will come upon you ,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you ,
and for this reason that Holy One being born of you will be called Son of God .
*
And behold ,
your kinswoman Elizabeth !
She also conceived a son in her old age ,
and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren ;
*
for nothing shall be impossible with God .
*
And Mariam said ,
Behold ,
the slave of the Lord !
May it be to me according to your word .
And the angel departed from her .
