Luke 1:26-38 - The Prediction Of Jesus' Birth
26 Now in the sixth month [of Elizabeth's pregnancy] the angel Gabriel was sent from God to the Galilean town of Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel came to her and said, "Greetings, you are someone greatly favored [i.e., by God]; the Lord is with you." 29 But she became very troubled by what he said and wondered what such a greeting could mean. 30 Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid Mary, for you have received favor from God. 31 And consider this, you will become pregnant and give birth to a son and you will name Him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest [i.e., God], and the Lord will give Him the throne of His forefather King David. 33 And He will rule over the [spiritual] descendants of Jacob forever and there will be no end to His kingdom."
34 And Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have never had sex with a man?"
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Highest [i.e., God] will overshadow you. Therefore, the child you carry will be called the holy Son of God.
36 And consider this, your relative Elizabeth is also pregnant with a son in spite of her old age, and [even though] she was said to be unable to have children, she is now six months along. 37 For nothing that God says [will happen] is impossible."
38 And Mary said, "Here I am, the Lord's slave-girl; let it happen to me according to what you say." Then the angel left her.
