Luke:1:26-38
riversident@Luke:1:26 @ In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
riversident@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The name of the virgin was Mary.
riversident@Luke:1:28 @ The angel entered and said to her, "Hail, favored one, the Lord is with you!"
riversident@Luke:1:29 @ But she was alarmed at his words, and wondered what such a greeting could mean.
riversident@Luke:1:30 @ The angel said to her, "Do not fear, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
riversident@Luke:1:31 @ You will conceive in your womb and will bear a son, and you must call his name Jesus.
riversident@Luke:1:32 @ He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
riversident@Luke:1:33 @ He will be king over the house of Jacob through the ages, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
riversident@Luke:1:34 @ But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am not united to a man?"
riversident@Luke:1:35 @ The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. For that reason the child that is begotten will be called holy, Son of God.
riversident@Luke:1:36 @ And, indeed, Elizabeth your relative, even she, has conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
riversident@Luke:1:37 @ For "no word that comes from God will fail."
riversident@Luke:1:38 @ Mary said, "Here I am, the Lord's handmaid. Let it be to me according to your word." Then the angel left her.
