³⁹ And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, ⁴⁰ and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, ⁴² and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.

⁴³ And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb. ⁴⁵ And blessed is she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from the Lord.
